A Jungle Walk

The fresh scent of rain
Drips down through the cracks of the trees
All I can see is the misty lane
Curving through the jungle
My bare feet stinging on the stone
The floor covered with fungi
The trees are like giants
Higher and higher they reach for the sky
I won’t go back, not without defiance
Cool breeze pushes me along
My soaking hair sticks to my back
This, this is where I belong
Far from the city
In the dripping jungle
Here where it's pretty
