•
From behind closed doors,
I pine for mountain heights and
forested valleys.
•
It’s in my nature:
loving flora and fauna,
seeking wilderness.
•
Existence is tame,
fenced in these strict city streets.
I want to go wild.

Author Notes
Author]s Note:
(Illustration from a painting by LisaMay.)
I am an outdoors person; I really enjoy hiking and camping. Here in New Zealand there are plenty of opportunities to be surrounded by natural beauty, and some of my best experiences have come from time spent in wilderness areas. 'Existence' is not living a full life, merely being alive.
Lockdown began here the week I was booked to go to Stewart Island/Rakiura, off New Zealand's southern coast, to enjoy remote wilderness with a friend. Having to cancel plans and stay home is very exasperating.
