As I sit in lush green on this wondrous day
Breathing clear air, admiring the deep blue sky
I feel this tranquil peace overtaking me
My mind is at ease by a whispering tree.
Such beautiful nature, shutting out the world
A pleasant shade, a slight breeze, there's nothing heard
Except a chattering frog and some birds that sing
Deep thoughts of a happy spirit soar from within.
Dewdrops on fern sparkle like diamonds in the sun
Marguerites and Poppies cradled though the wind has gone
Branches stretch out their arms with the rustle of leaves
The roots find their way underground by hidden weaves.
Soft white clouds hovering over the sky above
Stirring sweet dreams, hopes and fantasies of love
I find myself escaping from any surrender
And drink it all in – glad to be one with this splendor.
A twirl of pink glaze there far on the horizon
Tells to let the day slip away, soon it is gone
Slowly my steps turn back, the last birds take flight
I feel a leap of faith by the stars’ silver light.
I watch the reflections with appreciative eyes
My vision of beauty is shared with bright smiles
It's my way of celebrating each new season
To be thankful for each day, we have all reason.
