Morning Forest

You see trees in the distance. Their branches stretch up. You notice the texture of the trunks. The forest floor is near. You see small plants and leaves. The trees stand still. You look closer at the leaves. They are shaped differently. The forest is quiet. You hear no sounds. You look up at the sky. It is bright. You see the sun’s light. The light filters through the trees. You see the shadows on the ground. The shadows are dark. You look at your hand. It holds a tool. You begin to move your hand. Your hand moves slowly. You apply pressure. The line appears. The line is dark. You make another line. The lines intersect. You see a shape. The shape is a tree. You continue to draw. The forest takes shape. You add more lines. The lines are slow. You focus on your breath. Your breath is slow. You are still.
