embrace

long, luscious strokes of vegetation

a soft, simple melody

a leaf-filtered breeze caressing my skin

my calves, and the tips of my lengthy fingers.

i am trapped in the warm embrace 

of the sun's cloaking nature

and the verdant canopy above me,

concealing me,

protecting me

from my worries, from my future.

i thank my surroundings 

for its unwavering presence.

when i feel low,

i am touched by its grace, 

and i sing in reply.
