Seward Park

This memory is painted in my mind, 

Takes me back to one of the happiest days of my life,

Six o'clock pacific standard time, 

Gorgeous view of the sunrise,

The sun's infrared warmth penetrated my soul,

Bright bronze energy embraced my melanin skin,

Illuminated moss on photogenic trees showed light green with golden undertones,

The leaves created a strobe light effect while dancing in the wind, 

I took the wooded trail uphill, and my purple boots made a crunching and crackling sound,

Orange, copper, and semi-green leaves give any reason to fall this season,

This moment allowed me to hear the leaves hit the ground, 

Nature's artistic expression is near completion,

Cool crisp breeze shuttled the leaves in the park to different regions,

I held my breath to hear my heartbeat slow down,

My awareness and stillness acknowledged the present, 

The rain from two days ago gave the Tokul soil a pleasant scent,

Morning dew enhanced my summer wonderland with a string of crystalized droplets,

Gazing in delight, the Virginia Rails take a bath with falling dew to their benefit,

Matte Evergreen colored moss intertwined and draped over branches, 

Some branches had webs of Golden Orb's waiting for their first meal of the day,

Sap running down tree bark, fresh pine needles all around, and red berry bushes, 

Every touch conveyed gratitude for sending healing energy my way,

On my path, I am led by the sound of water while descending downhill, 

The pungent smell of musky freshwater whisked past my nose upon arrival,

Gentle susurration of waves encouraged me to jump in instead of standing still,

I photographed my view for my social media profile, 

Smooth multicolor rocks guided me toward the edge of the water, 

Cold water danced around my ankles and toes as I began to sink,

French vanilla altocumulus clouds and the blue sky complement each other, 

Imitation of "The Seine at Argenteuil" minus the Willow Herb with tonalities of pink,

Palms open, 

Eyes closed, 

Big deep inhale, 

Exhale slow,

Melodic waves collided against my shins while I remained in deep thought,

Nature's vibration remained harmonious and tranquil, 

Stressors are cleansed away, and my energy is unblocked,

Precious moments like this seem unreal,

A powerful journey,

A beautiful story,

Past imagery,

Flickering memories,

When I felt free,

Without worry,
