Journeys

The Nature In Me

My eyes close as the wind around me dances in the air.

Light droplets of water gently fall from the sky

as my eyes flicker open.

The earth is still –

Full of silence that fills the summer air.

My heart beats in my chest

aching for the sun to shine

as the rain silently falls.

Soaking wet to the bone –

Letting the cold water trickle down my skin, I stand…

Listening.

I inhale deeply, smelling the sweet moist air of Mother Nature –

Smiling to myself.

I listen closely, exerting myself, silently wondering –

Listening to my surroundings.

I gently tap my foot on the soft concrete floor –

Waiting for my sweet earth to beckon me.

My heart beats faster; my pulse rising –

Adrenaline runs through me, tingling my fingers… making them go numb.

As the magnificent sun breaks through the heavy-grey-dark clouds,

shining down on me…

I let the spin-thrilling warmth –

The beauty soak in me

as I let the sweet taste of Mother Nature linger in my mouth

savoring every second.

It is time, the earth –

My earth whispers to me

As a slow burst of wind brushes by me calling my name.

A slow smile emerges from my face as the earth beckons me to come…

It is the nature inside of me.
