Into the Woods is a poem written by Peter Junriel and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Trust The Process for the month of November

Into the woods through night and day
Not a single shoulder to hold onto
No compass to grasp, I create a way
I continue the hike, it damps my face
Feel my beat, every second a two
Unclear chirps, indistinctive roars
In nature’s symphony, I find my clue.
Amidst the trees, I lose my fear
Their hushed wisdom draws me near
Underneath the stars, a compass I found
Nothing to hide in moonlight’s grace
The path I forge, it’s mine to know
Into the woods, my spirit grows
