The smell of green
seeps into every pore
feeding off of each other
I am one with the forest.

As I breathe into
the comfort of her arms
I am guided by
the heart we share.

Carelessly, and swiftly
I leave footprints, yet
She is without harm
as I reach her center.

My mind clears
to embrace her peace
releasing my soul
so she may see me.

As she accepts
our dance begins-
to her strong lead
I follow with ease.

In these moments
I am free of confinement
My spirit is hers
for nature is my Mother
