Green Man (Redux)

Where did my wild man self go?
The one with honest self-expression
who spoke as he felt
who lived as he wanted
who lived in space and didn’t need permission?

 

How can I find my green man?
How do I peel away this compromised being
this stunted role-player in city clothes
this family man, husband, seeker, LIAR
who has taken his place?

 

Do I need to seek my Walden
or find a mountaintop somewhere
or is it all choices?
I want to flow!!
I need to be whole!!
wild, unfettered and free.

 

I will be the green man
and embody life
and not give in.
Feel my righteous fury
and hear my laughter echoing through the woods.
— G A Rosenberg

  1. hush! not so loud the green man is old, once he wakes up he will never go, lingering on your life and he will control! let the green man pass..and do as told..be everything you want to be, except being bold.

I believe which you could do with several pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this really is wonderful weblog. A fantastic read. IÂ’ll undoubtedly be back. 676389
