I am not much of an outside person

I’d rather read a book on the sofa

than ride a bike

 

but I do love the water

and I would rather take an ocean swim

than a mountain hike

 

seeing me hidden in my comfort zone

Mother Nature still knows my heart

 

she holds me and tells me

that even in this big wide world

I have a part

 

she tells me I am a tsunami

a force no man can stop

 

she tells me I am a thunderstorm

powerful, even in a single raindrop

 

she tells me I am a sea

too vast to completely explore

 

she tells me I am a volcano

too hot to touch,

passion exploding from the surface

coming from my very core

 

I feel the wind on my skin

and I know she is touching me gently and whispering,

“you are a force of nature, no heartbreaking boy can control,

because I’ve put the sun,

skies,

oceans,

forests,

and earth

 

in your very soul.”
