Let's Return to the Nature

For it will banish our stresses

By Seema PatelPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

We are primates

Monkey descendants,

we may call ourselves

the Homo sapiens,

but our body, mind, and soul

still long for the woods.

We feel at home

walking under the shade

of mighty trees,

the crunch of gravel

beneath our shoes,

inhaling wildflower scents,

listening to the birds,

watching the critters,

feeling the breeze

sitting by the lake

or listening to waterfalls.

Estranging from nature

is self-annihilating.

Melancholy will shadow

our mortal lives

if we alienate by nature.

So, let's get back to it—

walk under the pines,

sit on a fallen log,

feel at home,

and banish the stress.

    What a grand adventure this would be for I always loved walking through the woods at times coming home from school and just listening to the birds and whatever else. Good job.
