The forest
Searching, seeking, asking
I’m lost in these barren meadows
A broken soul alive in my
Shattered puddle reflection
Feeling, losing, healing
Tripping on roots
Slipping on leaves
Where do you go
Where do you hide
Where do you run
When the forest’s in your mind
I’m lost in these barren meadows
A broken soul alive in my
Shattered puddle reflection
Feeling, losing, healing
Tripping on roots
Slipping on leaves
Where do you go
Where do you hide
Where do you run
When the forest’s in your mind

This reminded me so much about the book
The boy the mole the fox and the horse,
My brother told me this storey a few days ago whilst I'm in the psychiatric unit
Made very much sense and helped me think more clearly thank you for posting this poem that triggered the thought of that book

Thank you very much for this comment, although I’ve never read the book I just put it in my shopping cart on thrift books. I can use it in my own partial hospitalization program. Good luck on your mental health journey. I’m glad it helped you think more clearly, I never thought my writing could have such a positive effect on someone. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, I look forward to reading your own material.

Dear S,
Your poem uses nature and feeling lost in it so well when we’re not feeling quite like ourselves. The unsteadiness in our minds is represented very accurately in this write. H🌷
