Untouched
I have this dream
I'm not flying but not falling either
I feel at peace
I'm running
Surrounded by trees that touch the sky
So many different shades of green I could lose my mind
The moss on the floor and hanging from the tress
Grazing my body as I run
The dark rich dirt under my feet
Sink under my feet, leaving clear tracks of my existence
The pebbles and stones around large unforgiving rocks
A waterfall near gushing, giving my ears pleasure
The cold still air touching my skin
Feeling it whisk around my small frame as I doge the tree trunks
The sun peaking through the endless tree tops
Shining down on my face giving my warmth
I slow to a jog bouncing around the forest
I take everything in
The bark on the trees, the moss hanging onto the forest floor
The mushrooms growing carelessly out of the ground
The vines trailing up the many verities if trees
The bird calls and land slowly moving around me
The waterfall not to far from where I stand
The animals waking up for a new day
Another struggle to survive another day
The droplets of rain falling from the branches high above my head
Aimlessly onto my shoulders
I run towards the sound of the waterfall
Breathing hard and fast, seeing it disappear before my eyes
I stop running looking down no where to run
I stood on the edge of a cliff, with the waterfall to my right
Endlessly, carelessly, freely running down over a mountain of rocks
Down to a cool deep clear pool
I back up and run full speed in but stop suddenly
A thought occurs to me
There is a reason that it is the way it is
I look around no animals near it
Not even birds above it
It is pure clean and this here
This uncut raw beauty
Can not be touched, can not be ruined
Ever lasting, sustaining, forever unchanging , beauty that is my dream
