It's a Beautiful World

On a rough jagged rock, I sit high above a waterfall whose roar is loud...yet soothing it pours upon the large rocks below in a violent rush mushrooming up, bubbling mists of rain that are carried by the wind caressing my skin the day's twilight sheen casts a dim light and a sense of serenity I watch the sunset sweep across the horizon in a vibrantly painted wash of colors taking me on a quiet journey of wondrous dreamy thoughts...that beckon my soul to a beautiful world of expansive scenery the red of the evening sky is the perfect dress with ruffles of yellow, to end the day the last flicker of light vanishes and the night drapes its darkness over the shoulder of twilight comforting the majestic splendor of sunset in a black cape of luminous stars welcoming the rise of the moon's crowning light to illuminate the waterfall in a soft luster...taking center stage allowing shades and shadows to form in silence moving slowly across the landscape filling my eyes, my soul, with peace and tranquility as I whisper...yes, it's a beautiful world

Dear Frederic, After reading this several times I think you have done an amazing job showing the transformative power of nature and how immersion in a stunning landscape can lead to "wondrous dreamy thoughts" and a journey for the soul. I particularly loved your word imageries. Each line brings justice by portraying nature as a source of comfort and inspiration that is capable of filling one's eyes and soul "with peace and tranquility." I have always greatly appreciated the world's natural beauty and its capacity to bring peace and wonder to those who take the time to observe and connect with it. – Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
