A Sliver of Nirvana
I went for a walk today in the forest,
and found nature at her purest;
in a glen I found a heavenly scene.
of flowers, trees, vines all tangled green.
It was so beautiful I thought it was an illusion.
if I enter . . . . would I be an intrusion;
but as I do- I am wrapped with seclusion,
oh, this was no delusion.
I went for a walk today in the forest,
and found nature at her purest;
in a glen I found a heavenly scene,
of flowers, trees, vines all tangled green.
Hidden in trees a thousand birds are singing,
and to pretty flowers- butterflies are clinging;
the sound of bees buzzing, buzzing is ringing,
and from branches squirrels are swinging.
Have I found a sliver of Nirvana?
I expected any moment to see the Madonna;
laying on grass like silk I fall asleep.
and became lost in a dream beautiful and deep.
Mother Earth wraps her strong arms around me,
and I sigh- for I feel so protected and free;
all my worries are drifting and fluttering away,
and when I wake I am happy and gay.
Laying on grass like silk I fall asleep,
and became lost in a dream beautiful and deep.
