Wet rocks, tall trees,

Heat wash over me;
Humid air, moist leaves,

Branch please shade me.

Peaceful day, quiet night,

Soft grass pillow me;
Fish swim, birds chirp,

Nature sing to me.

River runs, trees bend,

Sun come and greet me;
Colors rich, texture smooth,

Sanctuary to me.

I was looking at a picture of a lake side forest at the time of writeing this piece.
