The Calming Forest

Walking along the
long winding uneven path,
I feel the gentle breeze blowing on my back
and see the warm sun smiling down on me.
Tall thin trees tower over me like a large canopy of leaves

with  pockets    of    clear    blue    sky.

Happily, I skip down the rocky path
embracing everything around me.
The distinct sound of the whipping bird 
                 echoes
                             throughout
                                               the 
                                                        forest.

Ferns dangle wildly onto the path like wobbly tentacles
as I listen to the calming creek beside me.
I brush my hand on the tough
                                       rough bark.
