Imagined Forest

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 By PBaldivieso

As I began to close my eyes, I began to wonder where this blind fold would take me. I began to question myself, where I was and surrounded by what? I pictured birds flying above me, multi-color flowers and leaves all around me. Soothing and relaxing thoughts ran through my mind. I felt as if the sun was beaming towards me keeping me warmth. As I began to picture rain drops, splashing on my skin so smoothly, I feel cooled down and relieved. Picturing the trees that stood so tall and strong behind me, releasing the air I breath in making such a fresh scent. I felt as if I found the spot I was looking for, the spot that I could run away to when things didn’t seem right, the spot where I pictured my perfect wedding day. The crystal blue sky covering all that surrounded me, picturing rainbows every size, every color. Smelling the composting leaves, crackling branches as I walk through. The earthy smell of beginnings and endings.
