into the wild

            Into the wild


I wish to die in beds of foliage

Under a canopy of limbs and leaves

Beside the deer below the birds

Vine around bone as it weaves.


My vision bleeds into the rivers

For the forests I have grieved

I've longed to lie beside it

To escape this world of disease.


Under the looming stone giants

I feel it's majesty overhead

As the raven circle hovers above

My body laying lifeless and dead


The sky rains down around me

Autumnal leaves cover my corpse

My bones blend with winter snow

As nature ever runs it's course


And like a dead tree I'll be hollow

Like a river run dry I will crack

Like a mountain being topped I shall crumble

As I feel the earth beneath contract
