I leave you for the weekend with this beautiful poem <3

Deep into the foliage I venture
Aware of the heartbeat of the jungle
Here, Earth breathes louder than man
I sit in wonder as I gaze about me
Shaded from the burning sun by green canopy
The trees stir
Leaves the size of tires
Shaken by the landing of sapphire and jade feathered birds
Such splendor I did not know existed
I bow my head in gratitude
For without this delicate ecosystem
Our atmosphere would crumble
Our precious jungle would collapse
Along with undiscovered species
And transformative medicines
Let us wake from
This constant desire for more
Let us find a balance
From every distant shore

-Maiara
