I Want To Be

I want to be where the air is fresh and clean and smell the scent of decaying matter providing nutrients to mother earth I want to be where I can see animals running free under massive trees and where large boulders full of moss and lichen live I want to be where one can view the sky at night and wonder at the universe full of lonely stars shining down long after they have vanished I want to be where I can listen to the sounds of nature and the conversations that take place between the trees and plants as they joyfully enjoy themselves I want to be where one can see the silvery moon and its craters with the naked eyes and marvel at its reflecting light that has joined together many lovers Perhaps I can travel there in my dreams if I could only tune out the noise of people, vehicles and city lights and sleep.
