Poem: The Woods Are A Righteous Temple

by Jon Katz
The Path Is A Righteous Place
The Path Is A Righteous Place

The woods are a righteous temple,

they will swallow the angry and the cruel

confuse the lazy,

drown the self-righteous,

sting the cheeks of the arguers and haters

with the bites of a thousand insects,

swallow the struggle stories in the deep and muddy swamps,

lead the greedy down the wrong paths,

trap the arguers on the slippery slopes,

hide the crystals from them.

The true path is a sacred tunnel,

for those who come in the name of love,

the woods are a life raft for them.
