As I fall off the towering tree I sway softly in the gentle wind which is making the trees move the slightest bit.

I see a waterfall like a teardrop splashing off a child's face and eventually leading into a long rushing creek.

There are birds with their feathers glistening from the small cracks of sunlight coming through the trees.

There is also small insects floating around the forest floor with ease.

As I finally hit the moist luscious ground it reminds me of how important life really is.
