My Escape
This place is dark
With trees all about
Deep down in the forest
Where all things are peaceful
This place was built
A long time ago
In a great gentle tree
Older than I
The hair stands up on my skin
Chilling air brushes my cheek
The air relaxes my soul
As I smell the forest must
The sounds of the gentle chirp
Of the cricket fills my ears
This sound so peaceful, puts me to sleep
I taste the fog that
Surrounds me
This makes me feel calm and at ease
This place so calm and peaceful
Lets me rest and feel free
This place I found while
Walking in the forest is
My second home
In the old tree
