• My Sanctuary

    Listen to the sounds of the leaves rustling in the wind,
    The cool breeze blows as i sit on the grass covered cliff,
    Overlooking the deep blue ocean.
    I watch as the birds dive for fish,
    And come up with a good sized fish.
    I wish it were as easy for me as it is for them.
    I lay down on my cushion of green,
    And look at the sky.
    The clouds seem so free,
    They're not told where to go and what to do,
    Not like we are.
    This cliff,
    Hidden from all but me and the animals that live here,
    This cliff,
    Is my sanctuary.
    I have cried here,
    I have laughed and run freely here.
    The animals and trees have watched me grow,
    For as long as i can remember.
    I watch as a young fox approaches me,
    Full of curiosity and wonder,
    Another addition to my sanctuary.
    I smile as i see the bright colors,
    As they tell me it's time to leave.
    I will come back to my sanctuary for as long as i live.
