Nature trail

Walking on a trail,
In the illuminated forest. Every step I take
A crunch of leaves await. The tall trees dance in the wind,
The lake whispers deep within.
The sun beams, cicadas sing,
I hear an orchestra of birds singing.
The breeze envelops me.
I feel the sharp blades of grass cut me.
A rabbit hops past as fast as a car.
I lay down in the grass,
And run my finger across the rough soil.
Looking up, all I can see is
An avalanche of wispy clouds
Opening my ears
A slippery, sneaky, snake.
Walking closer to the lake,
Smell the astonishing fresh air.
I come to a stop
I thought it would never end.
