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.
