A Day's Outing

Soft whimsical wind rustles the tall trees geese on the wing fly by in formation honking and hooting, what a wretched din glad as the noise fades and peace is returned My journey today to reach the summit a long harduous yet an enchanting climb butterflies so pretty flutter around clumps of flowers sprinkled along the path The air so very sharp and crystal clear to breathe it in gives me much pleasure Fascinated I watch two young stags spar each one is vying for supremacy Cheerful rivulets and brooks babbling cooling the sultry air, birds taking dips nearly there now I have enjoyed the climb at the top a most splendidious view Stretched out in front of me tiny fields forming patchwork quilt of varying hues Little houses and farms nestling between Lush emerald valleys with golden corn I have enjoyed my outing in this place of beauty and such peaceful solitude a moment taken out of daily strife the chance of a return to simple life
