Here I feel home

As I look up,

The leaves dance in the wind

The tall tropical trees 

Tower high above me

I lie there, absorbing the natural air 

The leaves slowly drifting down to the ground 

The paper-like bark slowly peeling away over the years

Beams of light pierce through the trees 

I jump to my feet

The moist ground slushes between my toes 

I squeal, the coldness numbing my feet

I’m surrounded by my thoughts 

As I continue to walk through the forest 

The wind rushes through my hair

I feel a touch of warmth 

The smell of nature fills my veins 

Here in the heart of the forest I feel home
