Away.

Where your true home lies,

Awaiting your warm presence.

The flourishing waves

Of the shimmering sea

Call your name repeatedly,

Crashing down in such fluid motions,

A charming invitation to dance.

To make up for the icy water

Is the flaming sun, shining relentlessly.

And so you press your bare feet into the gravelly yellow sand,

Making your way toward the welcoming waves,

Step by step,

You stroll closer to the soothing shore.

Soon you're completely submerged in the pool of paradise,

Feelings of freedom and absolute elation

Rise above all else,

No longer is there even a hint of negativity

Clouding your adventurous mind,

Not a shred of doubt,

Not a slither of ire,

No, instead there lie

Blossoming feelings of exuberance and rapture.

And so you skip

Through the waves of serenity,

Allowing it to heal the wounds of your past,

To polish this new beginning,

This new chapter of your life in-

Away.

Where the ancient trees stand tall,

In a protective stance

Like pillars,

Supporting you through every hardship,

Every struggle.

Uplifting you to the breathtaking heights

Of their highest branches,

Shading you from the fierce, blazing sun,

Covering you from each drop of the plummeting rain,

Protecting you from the most dangerous of storms,

Nourishing you with the purest of air,

Leading you through the bewildering maze called 'life'.

These trees are everything and everyone

You could possibly need,

These trees are the answer to each and every one

Of your random questions.

These trees lead for miles and miles in every direction,

These trees, the very foundation of-
