Going deeper into the woods
We escape from the modern world
Older couples within the picnic areas
Sitting at the red picnic tables
Younger couples with their golden retrievers
Staying within the fenced area
Deeper in we go, veering off the man-made path
Following instead the deer path
Going through all of the trees
We find the river and see the family of ducks
For a moment we are lost in the beauty
The illusion is shattered the moment
We see the telephone tower that appears broken
We stay for a moment, ignoring the tower
And as the sun goes down we walk back to the car
Listening as the squirrels scurry away
Stepping on some crab apples and plenty of leaves
Coming back to the picnic tables, back to civilization
