Landscape (In Your Mind)
Let me paint a picture for you with my words:
The sky is dark above you and a couple speckled stars are clear
The moon is yellow but large and the wind whistles softly past your ear.
The soil is wet beneath your feet and each step you sink an inch or two.
The trees are green, lush, and extremely full.
There are spurts of grass in various spots and to your left...
a small patch of mushrooms.
The horizon consists of shadowed mountains and they completely surround you.
You can look to your right and a stream
is flowing through.
Past the mushrooms, past a spurt of grass,
Past an isolated tree...past you.
The sound of crickets chirping and water flowing
The sound of wind whistling and the rustle of trees blowing
The smell of wet soil and freshly grown green grass
The feel of clean cold air in your lungs and the taste of clear water at last.
Feelings of hurt and hate are all erased.
Feelings of love and happiness are fully embraced.
You are at peace with all.
You are finally safe.
