My Escape MAG
November 9, 2012
I glide
along the woodsy path.
The mud churns
beneath my wheels.
My shoes are soaked
with water and dirt.
The path seems endless.
The turns sway
in and out
of the condensed forest.
My body vibrates
with the rumble
of the earth beneath me.
Everything is quiet
except for the rustle
of leaves
blowing in the wind around me.
I escape this world
and enter a quiet place
where stress does not exist,
even with the cold air hitting my face.
My only focus
is to stay balanced.
I inhale the cool forest air
and keep puffing down the trail
with no worries ahead.
Only a clear
and relaxed mind.
