I want to breathe in deeper, to live better, bolder, fresh.

The hills are green
Everything is growing
All around me
I want to breathe in deeper
To live better
Bolder
Fresh
I yearn for excitement
For adventure
I seek out trouble
For encouragement
For laughter
I see the young fawn
Tender and inexperienced
I wish for forgiveness
For grace
I see it all
Up on my mountain
Flowers blooming
Shade trees welcoming
Up on my mountain

    This is a beautiful poem. I like the natural imagery – it takes me right back to basics and makes me think about the person at my core. :)

    This really did have a beautiful flow to it. A beautiful tribute to nature.

    I loved this! Finally a poem that very nicely embodies the beauty of the simple, yet miraculous (and miraculously overlooked) things that are a part of the world. Mixed with very bold emotion it’s brilliant and invigorating!

    The poem conjured up a thought of me sitting on a mountain, lovely.
