SHINRIN YOKU

Shinrin Yoku, roughly translated from Japanese, means "forest air breathing"

 

Deeply breathing,

lichen seething,

nature’s carpet, naked feet;

mossy bower,

fragrant flower

towers bold in steamy heat.

 

Strolling keen

in purest green,

fed by rain from crystal sky;

flora’s essence

in quiescence,

fungi tiny, timber high.

 

Spongy passage,

verdant massage,

eyes awash with colors bright;

inspiration

my salvation,

breathing deeply, pure delight.

 

Peat moss sodden,

leaves untrodden

metamorph to feed anew;

orchids rare

breathe virgin air,

show their sex in multi hue.

 

Pristine plants

my soul entrance,

Earthly worry soon dissolves;

this humble man

sees God’s great plan,

marvels as his heart evolves.
