Saw a picture on James site called Knotling-watercolor, it's probably not what he had in mind but this is what I saw.Out to the woods into the quiet and stillwhere streams snake through valleys and all kind of hill.So deep and so far even forest beast lost there wayat the last place sky decides to give night over to day.Nothings been touched since given its placenothings been added and nothing erased.Finding a patch left neglected and bareI made it my rest and began my long stare.Under natures hypnotic trance my spirit was soothedI surrendered my self to never again move.My form stole day and replaced it with nightthe shade I had made blocked life-giving light.To my back was the child of a mighty oak treeforced to mature so it also could see.Accepting my presence I was held in the trees hugin bark I stayed safe from the winds galling tug.Time lost its count it's meaning and gripstill I still was observing eternities slip.Shared is one body of wood and green leavesshelters a content soul at peace and at ease.
