wild & free

Natalya Park 2005 (Derby)



What’s the secret to a long life, tree?
Water, nutrition, being wild and free?
All of the above works for me, but a sprinkle of a love, goes a long way, you see.
Focus on the good, both you and me
And a long life we’ll live, peaceful it’ll be.

About this poem

this is a poem that I wrote shortly after being discharged from hospital after spending a year there for my mental health. It’s about how we can turn to nature for comfort and advice in times of need.
