Tonight my writing class reviews my work! So I thought Id share a little of it for your enjoyment ;) The sun was shining strongly upon the summer-green clearing, yet there was a cool breeze whistling through the tall grass. I can sharply recall the sweet smell of the wildflowers as their petals and stems swayed in that wind. The soft chirps of songbirds reverberated through the trees and rejoiced in the bright sunlight. I sat upon my protectors broad back in the shadows beyond the clearing. My minuscule hand curled tightly into his thick fur and my heart glad at him being near. Be proud on this day, little one. He said softly as if he echoed my hearts gladness. A child of man has not been embraced by the forest for many a long year. Even the trees seem pleased at your presence amongst them. Tis truly an honor to be heard by them. I regarded the leaves we stood under. The trees surrounding us were colossal beings and the lowest branches were far above my head. Silvery green twigs rustled in the wind. Light green leaves spiraled to the ground, dancing majestically through the air, eventually landing on their final resting place upon the floor. The earth seemed damp and trodden beneath our feet. As if many creatures had once traveled here and will again once we passed on by. Shining green dust blossomed from the cores of the many unnamable flowers. A gentle humming began upon the air, reaching my ears from somewhere through the thick, winding branches, seamlessly never ending. I lifted my face, letting the light and the shadow dance upon my skin. The mixture of the heat of the light and the cool of the shadow was a sensation i have never felt before and it thrilled me. I inhaled the musky smell of damp moss, lichen, and soil. The wind through the leaves created a harmony I had never heard before. I was truly enraptured by the forest, entranced by its beauty and wonder. The music was encircling me in light and sound. And for the first time since waking up from those nightmares of blood and fire and terrible screams I truly felt at peace. The music of the forest continued to encompass me and I rejoiced at its complex yet simple melody. It seemed to say: Long-awaited. I was home
