Spooky's Woods

Even in late fall when the trees are like leafless antlers,

There is a beauty in nature that we can not match with our concrete towers,

There is more music in the wolf's howl, the bird's song, and the wind whistling,

Than in all of tunes blaring from the freeway radios or from all the syrupy songs,

The invigorating hike, the blue sky, the unknowns of nature -
these are Kings & Queens of a my heart,

While the daily routine, the indoor ceiling, and the monotony of city life -
these are the Drains of my time,

Now, if you will excuse me, I have things I want to do:
warm wash, food from the fridge, good show on TV, computer time,
and nice indoor temperature - you know, all the natural stuff.

Happy Halloween Weekend to you!
