i want to know the sound of wind rushing through
miles and miles of branches and trees
like the back of my hand

i want to wander through endless green
then rest beneath the endless blue

i want to hear the hush of rushing waters
and rains approaching from afar

only interrupted by the chitter and buzz
of birds and bugs that are
busy in the daytime

and to keep the moon company
in the silence of night
