Sunshine radiated off the water’s surface
And my burnt skin felt warm to the touch for the first time in years
Clarity flooded my mind as the light broke through the trees
The fresh air flooded my lungs
And the summer heat began to cast away all remnants of the sea
My surroundings are more barren than usual
But it has allowed me to see what was lost in between
Gray cities and broken concrete
Suffocated me until there was almost nothing left
Nature has returned me to my roots
Found deep within the desert terrain
