Lizards skitter around my feet
A bee sings its song and sips from a sunflower
Gravel crunches under my sandals
Flowers of all colors flutter through the air
Grass tickles my ankles
Twigs snap as I stroll
Mud begins to coat the rubber of my shoes
Even dead logs are swimming with life
Hammocks sway in the light breeze
Trees shakily reach for the sky
Sunlight is scattered in the trees
A caterpillar munches on leaves
Nature flows through me
