Walden

Walden Pond comes to mind

at this hidden mountain shrine.

The reflection of the trees

with their changing autumn leaves.

I'm brought to this place

that alters the expression on my face.

A hut stands alone

yet is also part of a scene

that is away from the machine,

far from the TV and phone,

far from the turmoil at home,

no nations, no institutions,

following the rules of evolution.

Reminder of the nature we have missed

for it is all that exists.
