🌳 OUTSIDE NOISE ☀️
i hike within the bushland
eyes captivated by trees and sky
a sense of relief only nature offers
my stresses wave goodbye
but even in the bush so deep
i see the impact of humankind
i hear the noise of the outside world
thoughts begin to invade my mind
traffic purrs from a distant road
abandoned litter leaves its mark
regular planes fly overhead
odd profanity carved into bark
i feel a sense of awe and wonder
when nature demonstrates the possibility
one can coexist with undesired interruptions
whilst being rooted deeply in tranquility
