Soft light of sunlight mists across the smoky gray
Of the blue ridges where colors of emerald pine
Surface in the distance, creating a brilliant waltz
Of cloudless dreams which signal to my spirit
Whispering silence and serenity through the forest
Inspiring me to believe in the joy this peace ignites
Creating a sense of truth inside which gently soothes
Then colors my hopes with hues of dancing lights
Beckoning from the sun’s graceful insight into reveries

Soon, I will be more than mere mystery to nature
I will be the breath of fresh air to the flowers that 
Captivate my spirit with their tender caress of silence
Nurturing the secret visions of those who happen upon
Phenomenal joys within the natural world which arrest
The sentiments of those who share such sweet pleasure
As dewdrops caressing the petal with tranquil liquid
That enlivens stem and leaf with a sense of purpose
Purity that resembles a rose’s compassionate sigh

When I speak to the trees and earth, conversing with 
The wind and sun, trembling within due to fauna awareness
Answers to prayers seem to single me out through 
Touches from limb and spray, creations from the heavens
Sent to us mere mortals on the wings of silent prayers
Solitude built with gentle figs and favors from old oaks
Soothing rains single me out with feelings of compassion
Blended with shades of inspiration that will grow into
Heartfelt miracles of character built with natural instincts

Sigh. I can't even imagine 'speaking to Nature.' For you, it's a common event --- although always majestic, uncommonly common, as it were. Wow. ~ Gershon
