calmness floats along the breeze
lightly brushing my face and arms
deep colors of indigo and bronze
splash across the darkening sky
silence interrupted by nighttime
tickling and buzzing in my ears
each sound a delicate offense
sweetness breaks across my nose
as a sprinkle coats the blackened green
breathing deep the murky veil
fingertips roughened by crumbly bark
soothed by satin covered leaves
soggy steps guided by trails of plush grass
at one with Nature
in all her gleaming glory
and reflection
