silence. a language
the forest speaks fluently.
i listen with my whole body.
here, i am root and sky.

solitude blooms in my chest.
each step, a heartbeat of earth.
leaves whisper ancient stories.

i become their words.
time melts into bark.
i am lost. i am found.
nature’s rhythm pulses
through my veins.

Alone on river bank
