Ficlets

Among the Earth

The wind whistled past my ears as I ran, my fingers sliding across the fence quickly. The cold sensation of the fence gave me goose bumps throughout my body. I felt free.
I smiled as the sun blanketed me with warmth. I felt loved.
My bare feet stepped quickly into the deep yellow grass, pounding on the surface of the Earth. I felt fast.
Through my ears I could hear the whispers from the grass and the wind. I felt accompanied.
Through my eyes I saw a world so lovely and so alive. I felt blessed.
My lungs full of air and my heart beating to the perfect pace. I felt oh so alive.
The elements of the Earth took hold of me. It flowed through me. My mind emptied from all my troubles. And for once, I didn’t feel alone, but connected with the Earth.
