Infusion
By John Cannon

As I step
 
into the woods
 
it’s like giving water
to a thirsty plant.
 
There’s an immediate
intake of nourishment.
 
The sky, the sights, the sounds
soak into all my pores
 
filling all my cells
with a tonic of rejuvenation
 
that goes beyond refreshment
or sustenance of my body.
 
It is mother nature’s
magic elixir,
 
brewed fresh
in every moment
 
so that even a small taste
 
gladdens my heart
 
and feeds my soul.
