Feet planted on the earth, rocks and trees around me. A new day begins. And I am free. Wings stretch into the wind, into the clouds I soar. The sun is rising. And I am free. Gliding smoothly through, water surrounds me. Light from above grows brighter. And I am free. ~ The picture you…
Riot of colors Kaleidescope of rainbows Explosion of hues Pale bluish grayish Streaked with orangish pink and gold Favorite color Ruby reds, gold, and emerald greens sparkle in the bright yellow sunlight Black and white and gray Colors of no color cut deep into my soul Nature reaches out caressing my mind, feeding my soul…
