Into the Beyond


 

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.
