Into the Wild

Inspired by the book "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer.

 

My excitement rises

I am almost there

I can feel the biting cold

And smell the uncharted wilderness

I go into the unknown

 

I throw my money away

I abandon my car

I shed this materialistic life

I head north to live off the land

I go into Alaska

 

Looming mountains, raging rivers, endless nights

Nature at its best

Everything I dream about

Just over that next hill, at my fingertips

I go into the magnificent

 

It is cold, it is bitter, this place that I go

It is an unforgiving place, for one little mistake can cost you your life

Yet I go

I go to this lonely, desolate world

I am ready, ready to go into the wild

Brilliantly written Natalia :) I wish I could just pack my bags and live off in the wildernesses for a couple of days or weeks. Sometimes we need to get away from this materialistic world and get back in touch with our roots!
Inspiring read,

i like how you pay homage to the book...this reminded me of an older movie i loved..Jeramiah Johnson with Robert Redford...

sometimes it just gets to be all too much, and we have to leave it behind and find our peace...

nicely done.

The place you describe is so raw, so filled with pure wild spirit and adventure. You seek the wild, feral, exciting elements of this earth which beckon with promises of adventure. I love the language, simple and powerful. Great!
