I Am One With My Forest

nature created me, defines me, emboldens me, holds me. I am one with the stars, the oaks, the meadow and butterflies. a tree hugger, a naturalist, I am uplifted by the outdoors. a female Thoreau, I live in the woods gladly, feeling spirit. surrounded by fox, squirrel, deer, raccoon, and muskrat, I have found turtles, snakes, lizards, and ducks in Kansas cardinals, blue jays, wrens and woodpeckers surround me. mystical orbs are photographed by me around my dragonflies.
