Wilderness to me cannot be defined,

only described in demonstrative lines

 

From green sapping leaves, blue shallow waves

Mountainous hills and endless plains

 

Sunrise to sunset both in sight

And a starry sky to light the night

 

Trails aligned with beautiful things

Leading to mother natures wondrous springs

 

Scenic trees, picturesque waters

Mounds that reach a sky without borders

 

                                                       Inexplicable connections to wildlife

Bringing love and joy to a world of plight

 

Wilderness has a way of moving souls

Touching lives and taking a hold

 

Powerful connections can always be made

Away from the systems that people create

 

A forest, a desert, a mountain, or sea

Wilderness is here to set us all free
