A Trip

entry picture

It is beyond me,

What a surprising sensation,

All my senses are heightened,

The world looks too beautiful to see,

Everything has become an instant distraction,

I lose focus on my tension,

Instead my focus shifts to nature’s artifacts,

The trees dance in synchronization,

The grass glows the brightest of greens,

The water ripples and pops naturally, but different than anything I’ve seen,

Every cigarette is better than the last,

I am vulnerable to the positive energy in the environment,

It comes to me, it sings to me,

The false stigma has tainted the endless adventures we could all share,

But the truth is here within, you must question the truth and experience it to believe it.
