Love
The warm summer breeze brings forth the aroma of pine needles and sap
It wafts over me and fills my lungs with pristine, wonderfully fresh air
Gulping in the scent selfishly, I try to enjoy the moment and make it last
Everything is in slow motion; nothing matters but the sound of wind rustling the leaves
The sun’s radiance warms the skin and puts me in a happy stupor
A drawn out loon call carries through the air, the echoes dispersing across the wilderness
The sound of the water rushing over rocks adds a joyous repetition that puts me in a trance
The sun sets over the hills, and the for a short time the sky is alit with a red glow
The chirping of crickets announces the arrival of night
An infinite amount of stars illuminate the sky, every single one seen clearly through the non-polluted atmosphere
A natural calm settles over me and the world is all quiet, save for the sound of crickets
I stay in this happy, uninterrupted bliss for hours on end, feeling perfect down to the very core
I feel so small, overlooking the moon and the countless stars
The world seems so beautiful and so vast, that it’s funny to think of all the trivial things that take up my time in the city
It’s better to just lie here and admire nature
My love of nature has always been with me even when I was young
Nature’s call is powerful and I am constantly drawn towards it
Nothing beats nature’s sights, sounds, and smells which continue to be destroyed by humanity
Too few places now have the mystical power that continues to draw myself and countless others back towards nature’s warm embrace
One thing is for certain
Nature is my true love
ahh. You have painted a very pleasant scene with your words. Effective imagery!
