My Place

The breeze rustling the branches

The warmth of the early sun

The feeling of serenity in the air

The smells all around

And of course the sounds

Are enough to make me marvel

The feel of the grass beneath my feet

How thick and green it is

The trees grow close,

Side by side

Like a family protecting each other

This place, however, is odd it seems

For no life is heard beyond the leaves of the trees

Not a whisper of an animal scurrying away

Or even a call of a bird,

My place is beautiful

But it seems to want to be left unnoticed.
