Heaven Haibun

Far removed from the unrelenting hustle and bustle of quotidian existence,
There's no place I'd rather be at the moment. The air is so fresh. I find 
My peace of mind here. Sometimes, all is silent like trickling tear. The silence 
Broken by robins tweeting blissful hosannas. I'm so content here my inner child 
Dances with abandon like a twirling dry foliage. Ah, the sounds of nature! 
The babbling brook hums of peace. A spring rainbow arches over the hillside, 
Butterflies bounce around blooming wildflowers. There's no illusion about 
The sheer beauty of this peaceful valley. Could this be heaven on Earth? 
It sure looks like it to me. Would you care to join me?


                                           peace in the valley
                                           rainbow hovers above me...
                                           a welcome respite
