I finally reached the waterfall
and felt intimidated by its grace
and the beauty it portrayed.
I got closer to it
and inhaled the mixed aromas
the dewy moss and crisp spring water
nature allowed me to indulge in.
The breeze ruffled my hair
and for a second I got a sense of
how it would feel
to be so carefree, so...
I closed my eyes
and imagined my
body slowly reaching
the space between the
earth and where the water would permeate it,
crash into it.
I released my breath
And with it everything
I have carried
this whole journey.
I turned to face the sun
and let its rays warm me.
