Beauty's Air

Inspired by artwork by a artist I can't mention just yet.  But the artwork is a picture of a beautiful England Forrest at night.

A slow stroll in 
the Forrest,
I’m held captive 
of my own free will, bound
standing still 
in awe

the soles of my feet
tasting the earth beneath it
listening to an orchestra 
of twigs snapping, 
rocks disheveled 
from dirt beds.

Motionless, I breathe 
beauty’s air

so graciously she shares
her home, welcomes
this grateful passerby.
