The Unmarked Grove

"The Unmarked Grove," is about wilderness within wilderness—the subtle, untouched spaces that persist even inside a forest we think we know.

It describes places like a sunken log, a foggy hollow, or a cleft between stones that remain unvisited for generations. The reason isn't danger or prohibition; it's simply that these spots exist "outside the heart of purpose." They are overlooked by maps, trails, and human intention, allowing a deeper, older silence to keep its own time.

The core idea is that true wildness is often passive and unnoticed. Even in an explored forest, there can be pockets that hold a secret, quiet autonomy, "standing alone" in human thought while being fully part of the natural world.
