Nature's Bliss

The sounds and scent of nature fills my mind as I drift down the path. The roaring rapids beside me flow strong taunting me to feel its wrath. Lured by the danger I ease into the rapids to feel the energy. I watch the animals play and the birds fly, amazed of nature’s synergy. I pass by a rosebush tucked into the mountain’s face I slowly peek inside to find a wilted rose fallen from grace. I ease my hand through the sharp thorns as they attempt to prick my skin. I feel the puncture as my blood drips, I must feel the rose so I reach in again. My fingers caress her soft petals as she begins to awaken before my eyes. I watch her petals bloom revealing her soft pink walls, as my heart skips with a sigh. I slowly feel her pink walls as her dew leaks on my fingertips. I slide my other hand in and caress as I taste her honey on my lips. I lift my fingertips away as her petals close and begin to wilt. I ease my fingers back to her petals as she blooms again glistening like silk.
