My forest home

As I take a gradual stroll  
Here, my blue dreams unfold 
Allured by the winter cold  
Barks hug my maroon soul

Hidden by branches long limb lines  
My spirit soars like a fine red wine 
Watching squirrels gleefully shine 
I find this forest home a jovial  shrine 

The leaves cascade a rainbow foil 
Gliding palpable truths upon the soil 
I leave behind ebony-tainted turmoil
The sacred seeds are saved from spilling toxic oil  

Breathing in the sky cobalt peace
My anxiety is granted a release 
I don't have to be part of a social jigsaw and fit perfectly each piece 
I'm floating with the clouds as my iris's storms decrease.

What a profound and beautiful write this is . I love the imagery you’ve painted throughout in such a descriptive manner. Its not just the imagery but also the depth of these words that adds strength to your write in such an eloquent rhythm. Creating a captivating cadence. I especially love “ My anxiety is granted a release I don't have to be part of a social jigsaw and fit perfectly each piece ” powerful! Pleasure reading this
