The Wilderness by Ann Reader



 In the wilderness that is my mind

There are treasures you might find

The joy that is a shooting star

A path that stretches oh so far

Will I follow where it goes

Or stop to see the vines that grow?

Will there be grapes to press for wine

Or patches of nothing where sun can shine

Footprints showing on the ground

A hoof, a pug mark, who’s around?

Animals and flowers in bud

Water oozing through the mud

All these things are in my mind

Step gently there and please be kind.

I love this - and the fact that it was an on-the-spot writing challenge. Wow. You bring order to the wilderness within- I don’t think I’d be able to even hack a path out of the jungle that fills my mind!
