A sunny spot in the clearing beckons me,
Pulls me into its warm embrace,
And finally for a moment--
I feel at home

And time slows to a halt,
Until every detail feels tranquil,
Silence rushes over me--
I feel serene

And the earthy grass ******* sways between my toes,
Filling my nose with fresh scents,
Freedom fills my lungs--
I feel rejuvenated

And I stand, slowly walking away,
Glancing over my shoulder,
Barely catching the majestic rays peaking out over the mountains,
And for a split second,
I feel free.
