Nukha ॐ<p>Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you<br />Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,<br />And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,<br />Must ask permission to know it and be known.<br />The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,<br />I have made this place around you.<br />If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.<br />No two trees are the same to Raven.<br />No two branches are the same to Wren.<br />If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,<br />You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows<br />Where you are. You must let it find you.</p><p>Lost, by David Wagoner.</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poem</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/lost" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lost</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>forest</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/SelfKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SelfKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vegan</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/woods" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>woods</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/lichen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lichen</span></a></p>
