A walk through the forest…
Smell the crisp air,
inhale;
exhale.
Brilliant sensations sprint through my clay body,
ready to be molded into an emotion filled capsule of nature.
Miraculous trees around me sway,
as if a form of persuasion,
telling me to continue onward.
I march lightly,
carefully picking my paths without crushing the innocent,
beautiful blossoms.
Just beginning to bloom,
releasing their perfect scent into the air.
I brush my warm hand against the giant leaves of
the trees.
Feel each vein running water to the tree,
keeping it alive.
The small blades of grass run through my hands gently,
I feel alive.
Continuing ever on,
coming across an eccentric waterfall.
The uncontaminated water flows over the edge of the life-covered cliff.
Splashing in the inviting lake below.
Small, smooth rocks line the edge,
providing a flawless trail to the fresh water.
I come to a mountain,
towering over the rest of the world.
place my hands upon it,
take in its beauty,
and my journey peacefully comes to an end as I rest on the boulder beside me,
closing my eyes and taking in each piece of seamless purity,
One…
Last….
Time….
