A forest around me
Evergreen, lush, mighty
It is pathless
Where shall I go?
It is overwhelming me,
An eerie jungle
A sparkling, enormous waterfall
I see in the distant
Its waters calling out to me
But I cannot,
I cannot advance
Suddenly, birds chirp
Then squirrels squeak
The forest turned into a magical realm
A golden butterfly flies towards me
It lands on my hand and whispers to me,
"You can do it"
It leads and I follow
I can hear the twigs crushing beneath me
I can hear the birds, squirrels, and deers encouraging me
The waterfall is becoming nearer and nearer
Finally, I'm here
The waters are gushing
It appears powerful
I touch them and they pull me in
I shower in the vast waters
And come out as a being that has flourished
The forest praises me
I look back and the discomfort seems long ago
I advance towards the high mountain with ease
And enjoy the breath-taking view below
