I crave the green forests and the towering mountains, the free feeling you get when you're on top of an object tall enough that you can see for miles leaves cavorting across the soil, as if tossed by hands of the wind and sun rays, playing a game of catch with the moss. the wind gets praise and worship from the trees. branches clapping, birds singing symphonies the gossip of flowers in the summertime breeze, discussing which bud the sun loves most. and with each spring rain the forest hosts, the stones make music, the river boasts that it knows the secrets of the world. the water passes and twirls over stones like a crowd of ballerina girls dancing to the beat of leaves falling to the ground. with the sound of my breath, I would join the orchestra. and with each pound of my heart, I would contribute to the melody of the nature surrounding me. I could be the conductor while lying on my back as the grass whispers sweet nothings into my ear, like a love long since passed.
yet I wake up from my vast daydream to find I am still surrounded by linoleum and plaster and the forest is only in my mind.
