In The Deep, Deep Wood
“In the Deep, Deep Wood”
I long to be lost
in the deep deep wood,
and sleep among the natives
upon the forest bed,
made merry by sweet earthy scents
swirling ‘round my head…
Winged warblers serenade me
with their soulful psalms
Furry friends keep close to warm me
as the night chill comes
Dawning skies awaken me
to a delightful feast
Crushed hickories, sweet berries,
and the company of beasts
Leaves laden with dewdrops
shimmy-shake themselves free
Their soft, soothing showers
refresh and renew me
Playful trees swing and sway,
rays of sunshine peek in
To give light and warmth
as a new day begins…
I will pass the time
chirping and munching
hissing and cackling
sniffing and scurrying
climbing and snacking
rolling and chomping
sunning and romping
foraging, huddling
nesting and cuddling
…I may stay lost forever
