A Place So True

The cool breeze brushed against my face like soft fingers of a lover,
the trees so green, the mountains towered above,
kindling beauty surrounded, a place of slumber I found.

I closed my eyes, and smiled, clearing my mind,
I never knew of such a place, always looked, always tried,
excited, thrilled, such relief and passion,
feelings of joy, past forgotten, depression passed on.

Darkness loomed through each tree, mysterious,
my heart ran rampant, my sadness died, oblivious,
inspiration, the name rang true, appreciation grew.

Take me back there, I need to live, oh, please,
I found comfort in Mother Nature and her trees,
again, take me again, venturing on through,
a place so pure and real, a place so true.
