Adrift

I have departed the normal course.. 
the normal path so many follow 
It is not permanent. 
but for the moment i enjoy the moments of peace 
the quietness that can enter one's soul when freed from the stresses of life 
i find myself lost in the wood.. 
 .. not so far from the path but out of sight 
none the less there is a tragedy here.. 
that I could feel so disconnected from the awe of nature 
so alienated from what is good and real.. 
though i would not choose this if i had a choice, 
i must once again swallow my voice and turn back toward that beaten path, 
rejoining this life.. 
already in progress..

Stress..

Building..
swelling like a tidal wave 
intent on washing over everything in its path 
with all the force and fury of a tempest 
mother nature on a rampage 
laying waste 
obliterating everything 
all succumb to the forces they cannot control eventually
