Flowers

I'm in a valley.
Mountains around me.
Sweet scents arouse my nose.
Flowers.
Tens. Thousands. Millions.
Uncountable.
Colours fill the valley.
Every shade thinkable.
The most beautiful scene in the world.
Everything is so serene.
The only sounds are birds and the wind.
I walk through the flower sanctuary.
I take in the breeze that sends the perfume of millions of flowers.
They play at my feet in the breeze.
They know I won't cause any harm.
They feel safe with me.
And I feel safe with them.
We are like old friends.
I sit and bask in the sun.
I close my eyes and take in the sunlight just like the flowers.
I feel the earth.
The most beautiful sounds come from it.
A natural orchestra.
I feel myself drifting into the earth.
I let myself go.
My legs turn into roots and dig into the soil searching for life-giving minerals.
My arms become shoots and leaves, growing upwards towards the sky.
My body becomes softer. Just like a flower.
I finally stop growing.
My hair has become petals.
I feel myself bonding with the earth, the air, the water.
I join the symphony of Gaia.
I'm happy.
I'm free at last.
