Julie Achilles Poet Free verse

At One With Nature

I stood alone upon a hill
whilst all around was quiet and still
I watched as birds flew from tree to tree
and envied how they are so free
I sat alone to ponder life
imagined me as some man's wife
as branches played in a gentle breeze
and envied the freedom of the trees
I lay alone on a bed of fallen leaves
taking shade under the canopies
hearing creatures scurry here and there
and envied their life so free of care
I wandered home alone in a daze
enjoying the last of summer's rays
I watched as day turned into night
and envied the owl her evening flight.

Kim Rodrigues March 3, 2020 at 7:11 AM Julie, this is so beautiful, especially stimulating: I lay alone on a bed of fallen leaves/taking shade under the canopies./ You seem to indicate your desire to be someone’s wife but also speak of freedom. You’ve done a wonderful job here. A fave :) Julie Achilles March 3, 2020 at 9:24 AM Thank you for your kind comments Kim, Regards, Julie
