As I traipse through
a pine forest,
I inhale sharply
the resinous scent of sap.
I feel my feet sink slightly
into the pine needles
which carpet the forest floor
in a rug of burnt orange.
As I walk slowly
the sun peeks through
the branches overhead.
The slanting rays of light
filtering through
to shine upon my
upturned face.
Branches creak and twigs snap
as the squirrels chase each other
in a game of ‘catch me if you can’
High above in the treetops,
birds chitter and chatter excitedly
as an owl hoots in the distance.
I stop.
I close my eyes and breathe deep.
Taking in all of the peacefulness.
All of the beauty and wonder
of Mother Nature.
As all of my senses are blissfully fulfilled.
