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.
