she glides across the moss-ridden roots emerging from their compost covering.
engrossed in the environment enveloping her,
she inhales the moist, forested air.
a sense of tranquility washes over her troubled soul,
restoring a feeling long forgotten by the frets that intoxicate her mind.
there's a soft rustling as the leaves dance in the breeze,
a silent show only she is witness to.
the ghost of a smile appears on her translucent lips.
she desperately desires for this moment to last forever,
but alas it is time.
she feels the rumble as the ground opens up,
and drags her back below.
she reaches a slender arm up,
capturing the last taste of sunlight.
