Ancient Winds Of Time

Rain falls softly on the purple flower as it swings to and fro
in a field where everything blooms according to nature's will 
Steadfast and strong the morning sun rises in the East  
upon a lush carpet of grass soft as the ancient winds of time 

Light piano keys caress my mind as I close my eyes and enter 
into a reverie as bright as the orange tulips that seize me 
Ferns and chanterelles bathed in beams of pure light  
I am part of and whole of, this amazing greenish forest !

Rivulets of quiet waters glide through the sun kissed earth 
aerial slides from eagles and other winglet creatures of sky 
Loyal and faithful mother earth is constant with her affection 
in this solitary paradise made of *****sapiens of every kind

Stunned into silence I inhale the chirp of the dancing bird 
exhaling into the pinery the offspring of my very soul 
I cup my  hands and drink from the river, a thirsty fish 
longing to finish the journey I began, oh centuries ago.
