Nature

I miss being alone

with nature.

I can always be

with people.

I miss the green,

the silence,

the peace,

the quiet,

self-reflective

nature of my mind.

Hope is restored,

renewed,

inspiration,

received.

It gives me rest

not to test

the opinions of

others–

approval is cast

to the wind–

in nature.
