Peaceful

Black Water Falls, West Virginia

Blackwater Falls was so calming. I could past the time perfectly and not have to think the dark thoughts any more. Even at night when I feared the returning nightmares, the forest cloaked me in peace. I drank my coco on the porch whilst watching the bats fluttering around. The sound of the waterfalls masked every other noise and the smelly pine trees blocked my nose. A part of me knew I’d have to return soon, but it wouldn’t really be me going back.
