alone in the woods

The smell of sweet pine fills the warm air
The lack of meaning cause you're not here
No one to share this isolation and peace
Just me myself and my inner beast

I'm so alone maybe I'll stay for awhile
I think of you and you're beautiful smile
The sound of birds crickets and bees
The wind is talking it travels through the trees

Off in the distance big white puffy clouds
Then a crack and a flash boy is that thunder loud
Nature puts on its most exciting show
The air becomes cool the water rushing down below

I feel so refreshed energized and renewed
Its like putting on new socks and brand new shoes
I sit here in silence listening to everything drip
The roaring sound of a brook I think I'll take a sip

Clouds break apart in the late afternoon sun
I see a rainbow appear a pot of golden fun
My feet start to ache as I trot along this trail
Horseflies and mosquitoes there hot on my tail

The journey continues as I approach the lake
Two loons are laughing at me give me a break!
The evening draws near I'm so tired and wet
Time to go home dry clothes would feel good I bet

The cool quiet air engulfs you're body all over
The evening dew settles on every four leaf clover
Another display of mother nature doing her best
She will constantly remind you that you're only a guest

I will heed her warning follow all her rules
Its time for you to go she says don't be a silly fool
Come back and visit me anytime you like
You can get out much earlier if you bring you're bike!
