warm sunlight dances on my face

a gentle breeze passes softly through my hair

the sweetest fragrance of wildflowers pulls me forward

luring me in helpless, entranced i move effortlessly into the shadows

farther and farther into the depths of the wild wood trees

looming high in the amethyst and crimson sky

faster, farther, my heart racing

i move over lifeless trees strewn in front of me

and under limbs hanging down as if waiting to touch me

as i gracefully shift about beneath them

the shadows grow softer

the light of the sunset streams in between dangling leaves

i break through the foilage and into the blaze of the sunset

the sun is settling down behind a distant peak

i make my way into a wildflower filled field

i am drawn to a clearing

i am winded and my limbs ache

fatigued i nestle down into a cozy patch of creeping plox

the tranquil end to the perfect uncaged day
