I Long

I long for the forest,

Where the path glides softly between the trees... 

Where the earth greets my feet, and my soul answers back.

And where the ever so loving scent of nature carries me to another world.

I long for the beach,

Where the sea whispers its restless enchantment...

And each wave washes away the weight of yesterday.

I long for the mountain,

where the wind becomes my guide,

and I rise above it all like a Phoenix... 

untouchable, unbroken.

I long to stand at the cliff of my dreams,

high above the ocean... 

Where waves crash with timeless power

against the rock they’ve sculpted into perfection.

There, the wind threads through my hair,

the breath of tomorrow grazes my skin,

and the sun of today wraps me in its warm embrace... 

So that I may feel... 

So that I may breathe.
