nature

Nature does us good, my dear Vaughan,
It soothes our soul with a solemn and slow song,
She doesn’t choose the blue but all the colors,
A deserted field is deeper than our eyes.

Nature does us good, my dear Vaughan,
She soothes our hearts with a sovereign and calm song,
Thousand giants fight against the impetuous skies,
What is the use of quarrelling? The world is boring,

Nature does us good, my dear Vaughan,
In Utah, all the silences are slow music,
The prelude of the 49th parallel, lifts our heavy souls
Listening to it, I find the taste of living and praying. 

PS I give a small tribute to Vaughan williams, 20th century classical composer,

The tone hits the beat… Thousand giants fight against the impetuous skies, What is the use of quarrelling? The world is boring, Nature does us good, my dear Vaughan…Enjoyed!

Nature is so soothing. Whenever I feel down, it is in the lap of nature that I seek comfort. A great tribute to Ralph Vaughan Williams, though I don't know anything about him, other than his name. Dear Yaan, wish you a New Year of peace and joy.

Dear yann, this is so true and so resonating too, how well written! I absolutely love especially the way youv written “ A deserted field is deeper than our eyes.” What an excellent line that is! One that you should be proud of, and should print out and frame! Love this! Hope holidays treat you and your loved ones well! Sending you light always

Nature's healing and soothing effects on the human soul is great which is very nicely described in the poem .I once heard a psychiatric doctor asking a patient,"had you ever seen a bird's nest."
