In My Mind

The pungent smell of the soil
like no other, the rain forrest
with its quiet beauty.
As I remember so vividly
the most unusual surroundings
plants, flowers, moss, different
from the ordinary.
Stopping to just stare, mind trying
to absorb everything, wanting
never to forget.
Tall trees make a tunnel
slight sunlight around the outside
not dark in the tunnel, a feeling
of comfort surrounds me.
Most of all the earthy smells,
again nature showing off.
I can go there in my mind
when I feel the need.
One day I may have a
chance to be there again.
One of my favorite places
to be, where the forrest
meets the sea.
