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
