Into The Wild



3WW draft locate serenity

he searched for serenity
he wanted freedom

he tried to locate it
in the wonders of nature

he placed human connection
into the draft folder

he rowed down rapids
read lots of books

he talked to apples and horses
and in the end and too late

he realised it was there all along
there... in your loving embrace

  1. I found the movie "Into The Wild" inspirational. The above poem is based on it. It comes highly recommended by moi!

  8. Like Jae I loved the line about apples and horses. The search however is important because when you find that love is the answer the quest has been worthwhile.
