Hi John,

I like it too.

I wondered a little at the "again" in "and will again always be who he is and nothing more" since it implies that in the forest he is currently not "who he is" but something else. And yet, as I read it, the poem is saying he wants to be part of the forest, but he isn't -- this doesn't happen. So presumably, he's still who he is in the forest even though he wishes it were otherwise? Or maybe the poem is saying he is different in the forest, but just can't be part of it?

Like Nemo, I also wondered at the "vines that wrap around". Maybe "the vines that wrap around them"? Though it's not wrong to say "the vines that wrap around", since, after all they do.
