I Cannot, But I Can

F.B.R

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
