Walking Through Nature written by sophomore Mehrin Hossain

You imagine being near the downstream

Watching the orange koi swim by

Through the clear fresh water

You see tall trees casting a shadow

Over the great jungle,

Looking above

The baby birds

Of the scarlet macaws

Can be heard

Waiting upon their mother

To be fed

You continue through the wilderness

As you hear the sound of thunder

And the sight of lightening

Feeling the raindrops fall onto your skin

There is an old path of footprints

On the lightly damp mud

As you follow the trail

You come to an end

To the very edge of a cliff

And see beyond

A single ocean
