Bushwalking Place

The place where I stand
Cool water and soft sand,
The scent of water fills my nose
Feeling calm and who knows,
I might never let go.
Trees like a ladder up to space
Swaying in the breeze,
Vines hanging down
Pulling me up with my happiness.
Every piece of nature around me
Making a forcefield,
The decision I chose
To never leave.
Cool, crisp air in my nose
Coming out my mouth
Nature's morning breath.
A shorebird flies by
Thinking, “Yet another destructive creature”
“What is this?” I say
“It's my happy place”
