Lessons of Nature

Yesterday I learnt,
A beautiful something,
I learnt the peace,
That does not cease,
The breeze,
Clothed in nature's green,
The comfort,
Draped in nature's brown,
Through the woods,
Into the caves,
Over the bridges,
The sweet waters flowing,
Whispering gently,
Music,
That soothes the soul,
Impregnates the face,
With a broad twin lipped smile,
Crackling fires,
Rising smoke,
Embracing tightly,
The sun's rays,
Filtering through,
The swinging boughs,
Bathing rocks,
Swimming twigs,
Camera clicks,
Capturing the joys,
Of the moment,
Please fly me back,
I want to learn on,
Learn the love,
That binds the giraffe,
And the warthog,
The canopies,
And the blue skies,
The streams,
And the bamboos,
The monkeys,
And the trees,
The marshes,
And the rocks,
And above all,
The strength of nature,
The impact it imparts,
The bond it creates,
Between the creator,
And His creation,
Fly me back,
And let me learn on..

Am so grateful SCRIPT...I'm glad you found yourself in the camping trip too It was beautiful...words are so powerful...if we use them well we can paint beautiful memories and keep them...and each time we read..such events are brought back into reality..its like a chance to be in such events or situations over and over..for as long as we are willing to read through.:-)
