THERE
I wish I could be there
instead of here
Where the rustling leaves
create a melody
the soft strains
sweet as sugar
Tall blades of grass
waving in the wind
a comfortable nest
for whimsical daydreams
Where the open air
whispers of freedom
and there is enough
pure blue sky
to quench my thirst
The thunderous crash
of the sea in my chest
setting a tempo
for my beating heart
staining my skin
with streaks of salt
I wish I was anywhere
but here
