Comfort Zone

Where the river turns through mountains ravine,
The answers are found to what is serene
Where the cliffs climb up on the mountain’s side,
Water trickles down, the slate rocky slide

Faces are seen in reflections below
In the moving ripples of water’s flow
Nature’s pictures are drawn on rocks nearby
When the waterfalls choose not to be shy

The pine needles soften each step to shore
On a walk ever reaching so much more
The wildlife is busy with their play
Running around in their world for the day

This all offers the mind a home to be
Calm in its comfort zone, under a tree

Heidi, there was a subtle bit of personification in this also, which added to her loveliness. "Nature’s pictures are drawn on rocks nearby When the waterfalls choose not to be shy"

Thank you Caren I do enjoy personification, although haven't done any lately. Earlier on posted one called , I the Ocean. :)
