Its Worth the Joyful Sigh

Its worth the joyful sigh Those warm and sleeping waters Those familiar notes that murmurs Those sparkling dews that glimmers Upon the morning leaves of spring Where the pleasant song birds sing Upon the blooming trees of May Cold and silvered with the spray Of the soothing mist that rides The fragrant breeze that glides Across the vibrant fields and waters Across the cautious hues that flutters In the sultry light of morn. Its worth the joyful sigh To hear the nightly lullaby Exuding from the lilac streams Clothed with the starry beams That wonders through the night When lulling winds respite While lonely roses raise their heads Resplendent like the summer beds Of lilies as they blow Their tender echoes flow Whispering through the breeze Like languid humming bees Ascending to the skies Its worth the joyful sigh- To watch the flower as it opens It smiles joyful at the world And when its season finally closes Its blooming soul reposes When autumn's days unfold.
(Nature is a beautiful thing we get to comprehend everyday. We should be lucky to have such things in our lives. Drinking nature is an unquenchable thirst. There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shores There is society where non intrudes By the deep sea, and music in its roar I love not man the less, but nature more. Lord Byron)

Stunning! There is such vibrant imagery in your words. In nature we can be present in the moment and experience such joy and nourishment.
