In the Bosom of Nature

"What all charms and secrets reside in the mysterious depths of nature! To enjoy them, one should have a child's curiosity and the inquisitiveness of an environmentalist."  --- By Poet

When heart bleeds from unseen wounds, I wish to roam, Through dense and lush green woodlands wild Where leaves whisper and insects chant in rhythmic form. Holding my breath, with prancing steps, like a child, I walk watching trees loaded with colorful blooms And enjoy the scented breeze, sweet and mild. As I move on, vast and varied vista zooms, And I behold the wonders nature keeps. Watch macaws and peacocks in colorful plumes. There's no time the woodland fully sleeps. Making pulsating and swooshing sounds, A cataract from a nearby mound leaps. As nature in her magical beauty surrounds, I feel, my heart with sweet sensations abounds.

Congratulations, Valsa, for sharing the top win in this contest with a lovely terza rima on your retreat in the midst of nature to cure your bleed from unseen wounds. Nature is an unending source of inspiration to poets through all ages. It is so soothing to seek retreat therein not only to assuage pains of the heart, but also of the eyes, the mind, the spirit and the soul....Wish you a very peaceful day.

Good luck in the contest Valsa - you wrote it beautifully and with a passion that was touching, elegant and eloquent. Your first verse sends the reader into WHIMSICAL JOURNEY AND YOUR LAST VERSE ENCAPSULATES THE MAGIC AND WONDER that one experienced on the way. Hope you are well dear friend. Lots of love Jenny.
