Soft Autumn Leaves

wilderness dream

 

 

Such a peaceful place to have my bed

after a day of adventure somewhere to lay my head

upon the earth covered roots of a mighty longleaf pine

they console me tonight so passionate and kind

 

the rivers were wide the mountains tall

my trousers wet my body bruised from a fall

the hoot of an owl in a nearby tree

sets loose my spirit to roam so wild and free

 

my dreams are so lost from a body so tired

wolves could drag me off for i'm so totally expired

like the aroma of a bakery or fresh cut hay

these soft autumn leaves nourish me...i'll forever here stay
