Forest Beat

by shelby   Jul 26, 2009


What is this?
Connection.

My toes sink in this tender earth,
I am at home in this wilderness of green.
Elm, Willow, Pine,
Oak.

A kiss.
By nature.

Breathing in this flawless world.
A taste of sweet, careless freedom.

Passion’s tears.

This place is so beautiful,
I will never leave these leaves that hold me,
So tight.
They keep me here,
You could not drag me from this living love.

The softest touch.

I lay in this bed of beating hearts,
Every leaf is a life.
My mind is here.
My body is here.
My soul is here.
I will never leave because my life leads me,

Here.
