Why do humans cause me to feel
So insecure?
Why is it that the best peace I find
Is found in nature?
There is a way in which human demands
Tighten the brace around my heart
Instead of allowing it to loosen
Here amongst your companionship
I so often find myself
So very far from home
Will I always live alone
Even though
Being alone so often feels
Far less lonely that being
A part of the crowd
Sometimes I see the narrowness of people
I see how they try to fit others
Into a system
That cannot encompass
The depth nor entirety
Of the infinite mystery that we are
My place is not the inner rooms of
Man made dwellings
But the open wild spaces
That nature made
Teeming with love
Through the awesome force of
Creative power
That some call
God
