A Man In The Woods - (An Original Poem)

He stands alone in the woods
The stream splashes
Leaves rustle
An eagle shrieks

What has brought this moment upon this individual
Circumstances only so perfect

He is captive in his own mind
Distracted by the physical
Attempting to understand the spiritual

Lost in thought, a man of the land
Trying to understand what he does not
Trying to share what is not physical
Taking in the outside, learning on the inside

One eye sees what one eye sees
Truth is truth until it is not
Everything is as we perceive through our senses
Realization is rare, Life is not

The sun falls, the man sleeps
The stars will guide him through physical and spiritual
Sky berries of knowledge
Twinkling and sweet

Tranquility surrounds and peace ensues
The man sleeps a deep sleep
The weekend will soon end
Reality will wait until the next
