Lost in Familiar Woods

When lost in familiar woods
One is quickly aware there are no dress codes
And after you’ve
Spun around enough times
To no longer know which way
Will take you further into the forest
Or which way leads out
Not sure of where you’ve come from
Or where you want to go
Knowing only you like it here
Comfortable and present

Lost in familiar woods.
There’s nothing to fear
Lost in familiar wood
No panic at being lost
Nor missing the comfort of home
Survival is not the issue,
Disorientation is
And you are paused
.
Enjoy the pleasures of nature
The trees many and one
And the path before you
Going in both directions
Deeper and safe.
