The Hugging Trees
By Reva K

The trees are a trail and so are the bushes.
Hugged by the trees’ warmth,
Follow the sounds shimmering in the dusk.
When the rain and the sun hit these trees,
The warmth is reflected.
It becomes the warmth of something else.
The warmth of love that breaks into other people's hearts.
And from that love,
Comes hope and happiness.
Enclosed in it, alone.
In nature, I feel warm from the sunlight.
Even when it rains, I feel warmth in my heart,
Telling us nature makes us free.
In the moonlight, the river shimmers like a snake’s scales.
The golden sunset kisses the hills.
When I’m in nature, I feel as happy as I do when I’m eating lemon sorbet.
It makes me feel joyful.
It tastes sharp and sweet at the same time.
I hear birds singing and leaves rustling and the river flowing.
The sounds of laughter and fun nearby.
