Nature's Beauty

A winding trail.

A gentle breeze.

Flowers bloom.

A hike into the unknown

is just what I need

I'll climb and climb

until I can think of nothing

save the pounding of boots 

on a hard dirt trail

and the beauty of the forest

that surrounds me

and swallows all.

    With each other's beautifully 

    Breathtaking selves

    Their words don't break
