Jungle realisation
Peru
People said it would be hard and far from easy
Returning from the jungle has made me queasy
Queasy of mind its all so intense
The reality of learning has been immense
I was told many things and what i'd appreciate
and how in this world we might integrate
No appreciation its the opposite end of the scale
I’ve left the jungle feeling rather frail
A prisoner in this realm a society for slaves
Where news is negative and attention it craves
Mass destruction and murder world wide
The wars and deaths we cannot hide
We watch them suffer all through choice
The government control and speak their voice
Chemotherapy why do we let it happen
Bring them in we'll poison and zap them
Chemo will extend the period of time
but admitting poison is a serious crime
A dose of chemo will kill the cell
the toxic measure in living hell
A plant, a root, a tree, a cure
A healer, a hospital and so much more
The jungle is pure, green and fresh
The canopy protects like a natural mesh
Illness and health there is some kind of aid
So why poison people when they can be saved
In the jungle you can find it and make it better
A true sign to a natural health detector
The jungle lacks luxuries for example you'll see
No comfy bed, running water and no TV
It has its own form of special treats
like fresh air and beauty as far as the eye meets
The sun rises and its a sight of perfection
the sun sets and its a soul felt connection
A river wild that cannot be tamed
Like a mental photo forever framed
In full flow with power yet grace
I'm lucky to share this sacred space
A sacred space so full of health and light
Each waking moment and every night
The jungle meets every desired need
From healing powers and sowing seed
There is a struggle but they help one another
Loving the jungle like a baby to mother
Time is endless and has no meaning
From day to day forever dreaming
No rushing around or deadline hitting
Absorbing the energy in a relaxing sitting
A lack of Ego by many but a test either way
a struggle of adjustment to a jungle day
Open and honest no anger or thought
taking on board the lessons she taught
Humble breath for the beauty around me
catching the air so effortlessly
The charm of the jungle and its nature inside
Every living creature has no need to hide
Its hard not to be positive and live to thrive
When this mother jungle keeps them alive
I have so much love and respect for you
But now to understand my concrete jungle too
A concrete jungle we call home
Being here can feel so alone
I miss you jungle but love you dearly
For making me appreciate life more clearly
So for now ts goodbye but maybe not forever
one day we may all live in harmony together.....
