SELF MEDICATION

 

SELF MEDICATION

Walking through a misty forest

The ferns and honeysuckle grow

It takes me to a happy place

to the simpler times I know

I listen for the mourning doves

as the squirrels , they run around

The hawk flies high above me

searching for food down on the ground

I see a few stray honeybees

gathering nectar from the flowers

I could stay alone back in the woods

for so many countless hours

The sunlight's beams cut through the trees

and they shine upon my face

I'm so in touch with mother nature

when I wander through this space

I never was the kind of person

that had to have the very best

I can say I'm much more happier

watching bunnies in their nest

A family of white tail deer

or a field mouse eating grain

I love smelling the hot asphalt

when it's been saturated by the rain

When you're inspired by God's beauty

and the simple things in life

You'll find yourself free of all worry

and not concerned with any strife

So in these hectic times we live in

just go down to a country road

And wonder deep into the forest

then go into your quiet mode
