My New World

I feel happy here as the sun smiles down on me
We’ve met before, I'm sure
As I listen to the world around me I hear everything
As I focus on mother earth I can hear and see
A new world surrounding me,
The bark on the tree is like wrinkled skin
Look up, the leaves are falling as if all the trees are crying
The peaceful trees are swaying with their arms outstretched and running amongst them are birds and butterflies,
The smell of dried leaves hit me like a bullet, with the power to knock me out
I have met my mother nature
I have met the sun
But have I met my world?
