nature, such a gift

the earth is moist with decaying leaves

watching the light as it plays through the branches 

the sparkle of water in the distance

a fallen tree trunk for a chair

shades of dying bits of life on the dirt floor

the smell of the woods

the sound of many in the distance echo

a falling dry leaf hits the ground

sitting for many hours

evening falls

bright sunset

little miracles emerge

to delight the eye

how wondrous

refreshing air

completely alone

nothing is forbidden here

in nature

so open

such a gift
