The Time of Me

This is a Free Verse Poem I wrote in my Freshman Year for Creative Writing Class. It is actually my first and only publication.

"The Time of Me"

I sit by the lake

The ripples across the surface distort my reflection

A leaf gracefully dances its way down, atop the mirror

This makes me ponder who I really am

The autumn wind picks up my hair playing with the fair strands

With eyes closed I search within myself to find peace

I can not

I open my eyes

Before me everything is tinted in a lovely amber light

My very own fairy tale land

I feel a spark within me

Nature courses through me

It ignites through my veins

Nature is my playmate

I am nature
