Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Beauty of Nature

I wrap my arms 
around myself replacing 
the warmth of the lovers 
that the sun no longer holds 
another year flew by as the birds
above now head south 
for warmth 
time flies by so fast 
now days 
I sit as I breathe in 
the freshness of the season 
not wanting to stop the time 
but to enjoy it unlike the flowers 
I had forgotten to stop and smell 
this year I will ride along on the
seasons ride and occasionally 
get off as I have now 
to stop and enjoy what is the 
beauty of nature

Matthew Anish September 20, 2019 at 6:58 PM One should make time to enjoy nature. I live in the heart of NYC but last week I went upstate and walked in the woods. Almost got lost! Nice poem!

Caren Krutsinger September 20, 2019 at 3:40 PM I had forgotten that I used to wrap my arms around myself to stay warm when I lived with my parents and we only had one room that heated in the winter. Thank you for the reminder! Brenda Chiri September 20, 2019 at 5:13 PM Your welcome my friend and thank you so much!;)
