In The Woods
tired in the race of wining bread,
fed up with the world, one day,
attainment of relief, to make a way,
go in the wood, to assuage mood,
trees were standing like saints,
silence was the way they had,
No libraries, no books they had,
but still taught the art of silence,
nerves of brain were full of the world
hitting every tissue with duty hammer,
the fire of stress turned gas chamber,
unbearable burden made heavy head,
a humble request made in silence,
to make the mind as still as there,
and a deep silence flew from there,
filled every nerve and cell with silence,
