Deep In Nature

Snow lays scattered on far mountain edges
Thin fog from the valley rises to greet
Here with this view, among the rock ledges
My troubled mind and I have come to meet
Reflections from light, etch into nature
Songbird sounds echo while in graceful flight
I press my palms in prayer to confer
I realize I need nothing, but sight
Alone where waterfalls pour long into streams
Nature beckons with its tranquility
I'll free my spirit, allow for its dreams
My soul lays down to find serenity

I will listen to nature's soothing calls
Heal my mind among songbirds and waterfalls

Congrats on this winning poem, Frederic, I liked it. I could not find your "Lost in Nature" poem, I went through your entire list. So I chose this one instead and I'm glad I did. ~~Darlene
