A Relaxing Moment with Nature

" We can learn lessons from nature." by poet

I feel the need to relax today
As I sit outside on this sunny day
I try to let all my stress slip away
I can feel the sunny rays warm my soul
As my worries gently slide off and roll

I am no longer worried about things
As a butterfly flutters its wings
and watch it dip in blooms and out it springs
A bee joins with pollen laden legs
The butterfly gently protects its eggs

A light warm breeze tickles my nose
with sweet perfumes of a freshly bloomed rose
A hummingbird zips by and feeds from blooms
Another one joins as they zip and zoom
Embracing the moment, not feeling gloom

A tufted titmouse flies past my chair
And lands at the feeders, singing with flair
He feeds and sings without any care
A moment in nature is all I need
To enjoy life at a much calmer speed

Dear Tania, thank you for being the "calm speed" in my afternoon. While the "soup" of life can be exciting, heavy, or even "a bane," the cure is often as simple as a freshly bloomed rose and a light breeze. You’ve helped me let my own worries "slide off and roll" today. With peace and a heart for the sunshine, Daniel
