I was bumbling around in nature today,

Fascinated by the endless green pastures,

The symphony of bird calls around me,

The tranquility of it all a salve to my jitters.

Walking perpetually on the treacherous path,

With the crunch of gravel beneath my shoes,

The sole company that stayed with me,

I was happy, yet anxious, to finally let loose.

I felt like a stranger in the life I lived in,

Wanting to be someone else, someone remembered,

An artist that stays true to wanderlust,

Or a simple girl finally unencumbered.

I found myself lost in this vast world of beauty,

Trying to find my way to somewhere I belong,

I don't want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers,

I want to be the bloom that was thriving all summer long.
