Thankful.
April 1, 2014
My eyes open, I'm happy.
I don't acknowledge it, but I am.
I take in nature's beauty with every step.
Listen to the birds sing their song above the whisper of the wind.
The melodic wisps of the wind through the trees branches.
The smell of pine, fresh air, and freedom.
Everything in perfect harmony.
You are the outcast, walking in the wild.
Sometimes it feels good to be the only one.
The snapping and crackling of every step through the brush.
I'm home at last, this is where I belong.
