The other day, when I stood in front of the house, alone, contemplating nature, Its wonder and its peace and quite. I heard the birds and felt the chill on my chin. The trees in all their green splendor. It was the promise of a dream. A dream so far away and so unreachable. My eyes clouded and my heart was heavy. I was at peace, both happy and sad at the time. How could that be? I felt both free and caged. But, today I woke up with thoughts of the one thing that made sense, And I know I want to go back to the front of the house, back to the dream, Out there in the wilds.
