The Woods

the city is dangerous
danger lies in the
over-abundance of man-
made objects, idols

man built the city
to glorify himself
god created nature
filled with beauty and splendor
to remind us

that he lives among
us, sinners
consumed by narcissism and greed
destroyers of his
gifts, outward and inward

god lies
in the woods
his whispers ride
the wind, pushes
the worries away

i go to the woods to talk to god
i go to the city to sin
