Wilderness invades your bloodstream,
roiling through your vessels
and rampantly invading all body parts
with sensuous primordial urges.
Osmose its grandeur
into every fiber of your being.
Fabricate kaleidoscopes of mental confection
whose endless iterations renew and revitalize
every civilization-weary cell,
patching holes in your soul and psyche.
Hearken to Nature’s susurrus sounds
with all your senses,
feel its stirring vibrations
within and without,
observe the birth of sounds,
taste and smell the crisp, unsullied air,
hear the deafening silence.
Bite off multi-acre portions,
swallow its miles voraciously,
digest its beauty
and garner strength
from its rejuvenating nutrients.
Obey
as wilderness impels you
into the beyond
to enter its escape.
Surrender your soul to
redevelopment,
renewal,
rebirth.
And finally, fully,
become alive.
