Take a step away
From humanity
Leave the sickly scented world behind
Take a step away
And smell the pine growth
Take a step away
And feel the cool wind blowing past
Feel the cool chlorine-free water flow
Around you
The fish are not afraid
Because they know you will not harm them
The deer come up and eat
From your hand
See the sunlight glittering though the leaves
Creating leopard spots on the ground
This world is yours
And yours alone
