Abandon Dead Trails and Thy Sybarite Lust

Abandon Dead Trails And Thy Sybarite Lust If Nature's earthen-fires thy bosom holds and thy heart's countenance mind's eye thus sees; life serves best those adventurously bold, walking worn paths, resting under its trees. Seek in truth the great beauty God has made the opulence of colors in blue skies; let not dark, thy human empathy degrade to sorrows that in turn, love's joys deny. Instead, denude kings of their purple cloaks and the golden castles they have stolen; take time to visit regale forest oaks, ride the rapids of rivers swift and swollen. Abandon dead trails, thy Sybarite lusts in Nature's awe, seeking heart there adjusts. Robert J. Lindley, 8-18-2018 Sonnet, ( Nature's Great Gifts And Its Awesome Healing Powers)

A Sonnet of Light and Beauty! A captivating closing couplet! Nature a haven of unstained beauties.. of healing and enlightening solitude.. of singing hearts.. Man who venerates, loves and inhales Nature's wonders never fails to reach divine wisdom and distinctions.. Thank you so much Robert for sharing such a wonderful write. A FAV. Be blessed.
