between tree branches and sky

I found the place between tree branches and sky.
I took a moment and climbed inside.
I lost myself there and loved what came after the moment I lost myself there.
I became peace.
I became a branch high in the shadows of the tree.
I became a wisp of air that blew through those branches.
I was the dirt that the roots dug in and clung to,
I was the roots enjoying the deep cool of the earth surrounding me.
I found the place between tree branches and sky,
I climbed inside and I stayed for the night.
I saw my breath against the morning light
and I thanked the universe for encircling me,
somewhere within the shadow of it’s wing
and allowing me a moment of peace.
A moment of forgetting to be myself or anyone else in between…
the dirt, the sky and the branches of that tree.

This totally needs to be a song, has such a lyrical feel to it. Amazing, once again. Makes me want to go hang out with some trees and look at the sky(:

No way really? I was a world traveler before I was 2 lol, granted I didn’t really do anything to make that happen :D. Indiana has been my home base about 10 years, it’s pretty here, it’s grown on me. What I’ve seen of NJ is pretty too.

That’s really cool. I want to go out and travel so badly, there is so much more of the world that I haven’t seen yet and it kind of sucks. I admire to get away to the country side sometimes *sigh lol

  That’s good you get away to the countryside, some people never do :). I’m sure you’ll travel much further though. Wanting anything is how we start moving towards it right?

That is very, very true. I wish I had a lot of money to go travel the world for a few years that would be super cool 😛 Have to go look under the couch for some spare change 😀

  Haha I’ve never had much money, oddly it hasn’t stopped me :D. My last road trip I had $100 for the whole thing hehe. I only went a few states north and I had friends waiting for me, but man it was a gorgeous trip!!
