Thoughts on Nature

I wrote this at 6th grade camp two days ago. Enjoy. :)

A gentle breeze sweeps across my face
As the sun beats down my back
In the distance an endless cloud covering
Stretching into the great unkown

Stillness, so hard to find
My thoughts are racing

Away from the hustling and bustling of fast life
Time moves slowly, almost stops

Nature greets me, the happy host of a tranquil party
Providing none of the banal distractions of her restless sister,
Technology

While technology wines and dines,
Providing short term pleasure
It is nature that offers sustaining peace

And this is what my heart longs for

Perhaps I have found it, or perhaps not
What I do know is that we are now one
Joining in union our underlying core

I belong no more to her, than she to I
We are interdependent and carefree
At least for a little while...
