Into the wild I ran

voices echoing behind
footprints jagged and doubtful
but on into the wild
I ran.

Within the wild I stood
scared but entranced by the same
caught, lost, yet not wanting to be found
so further into the wild
I ran.

Engulfed by the wild I spun
towering petals shading me
wild poppies saving me
again further into the wild
I ran.

Enamored by the wild I climbed
so atop the canopy I sat
in the noiseless world of song
yet further into the wild
I ran.

Lying with the wild I laughed
rays tickling toes aimlessly
leaves chasing the tails playfully
so no further into the wild
I ran.

Living with the wild I am happy
for here custom is theirs and my own
and wishes may only be granted.
Finally I am here, into the wild
I love.
