My first poem in two months. I haven't been hiking / backpacking / canoeing / fishing in almost six months too.

I went to the woods
Wondering if I could suck
The marrow out of the
Obese bone that is life.

I went to the woods
Seeking solace, a solitary
Place to excape the
Troubled modern world.

I went to the woods
To find my religion,
The holy presence that
Rests in the trees.

I went to the woods
To be a simpler person,
Cleansing the confusion
Pent up inside.

I went to the woods
To be me.
