Beyond the ridge, the sun rays wave goodbye
And delicate darkness envelops the sky
Stars twinkle into view as you gaze at the glowing embers of your dimming fire
And you are reminded of the gifts you have acquired.
The first breath of fresh air
The calming caress of the southern breeze
The luscious green grass that tickles your toes
The symphony of birds that softly sing nature’s song
The taste of crisp cold water on your tongue
The mighty mountains that leisurely loom in gentle regard
Immersed in nature, you finally understand that
This is where freedom is and freedom stays
But it is always there to remind you
As long as you embrace it.
