    The Jungle

    In a long tall shadow
    Here I stand
    Waiting for these roads to clear
    I tread so slowly
    Clearing through
    Along the way.

    Walking tall
    Only in spirit
    Here I am
    Don't you see me?
    Hearing only what I must.

    Inching slowly
    Open wide
    Thoughts of dis-ease
    Fading stride.

    Going over
    Here we go
    Looking forward
    Take it slow.

    lmao you are very perceptive

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
