The silence is Soothing, peaceful. I feel the moist earth Under my palms As I sit back And take it all in. The forest is Quiet, calm, As it surrounds me. The wind blows Through the trees, Rustles the leaves. And the waters Of the stream Trickle on by. My little place, So beautiful, So calming. Away from the Rest of the world. Here, I am free, I am happy.
