What If?
what if today
I awoke at sunrise
flew with the ravens
played with the wolves
what if today
I sang at moonrise
howled at the stars
what if today
I slept in the forest
no worries
no cares
what if today
I floated in the river
no worries
no cares
what if today
I chatted with the cedars
chanted with the clover
what if today
I stopped fighting
repressing
silencing
my wild
my free
my true
nature
What if?

Beautiful painting and poem..."no worries, no cares"...(sigh)..sounds wonderful. Your painting evokes the light I often see at dusk, it reminds me of the twinkle of fireflies, so pretty :)

Thank you Julie, I needed that! Beautiful world you have created, and I love the you floating in the river, who looks to me like a River Goddess, or perhaps like the unity of one with nature.
