on the way to next world

Trip into the woods
another straggler
fear of the unknown
on earth away from heaven
bear tracks on soft sod
slippery pebbles where I tread
scent picks up a human

They avoid humans when they come
what about a hunger call
mother in distress
trip into the woods
face to face
with shaggy wild beasts
clawed to pieces in a dream
a scent picks up a human

The adventure was to fish
capture the moment on film
fear of unknown places
earth away from heaven

This sure reminded me of many a trip I had taken up Grouse Mountain, where minding my own business I would run into little black bears.  We (the people who live here) wear big bells when we walk in the woods, for we are guests in their territory.  Hope you enjoyed your day of wilderness as much as I always enjoyed mine.

seemed kinda simple at first, but the reusage about the heaven/earth line brought out strange echoes of environmentalism, naturism, and wiccanism.

or maybe i am intoxicated.
