Already used to walking alone
She stood on the edge of the woods
Letting the sun warm her face
It's touch might smooth away every thought
The roughness of the grass on her finger tips
Letting it fill her mind
Memorising the pattern of the leaves of the forest floor
Saplings turned and twisted towards the light
To keep these things forever
To have them fill the emptiness inside
A feeling so profound
She took up her pencil and drew
The only way to free her of loneliness
