Nature Heals

How blue the sparkling water brightly shone! Stream depths of clarity held my stunned eyes. I felt my smile grow full and skimmed some stones while sun rays lent light ribbons to my tries. The shoreline mixed rocks, clover, sticks and dirt before it faded to soft, velvet grass and endless trees grown full limbed, tall and pert. While reaping all, I saw a jumping bass. I loved how energy there loved me back. Just nature gives such boundless lifts to me. Her highs keep my esteem on healthy track to heal since heartbreak deeply shattered me. In earth's scenes nature aids all pain did hone. How blue the sparkling water brightly shone! ... CayCay John Hamilton's Best Sonnet 2019 Poetry Contest May 24, 2019

Actually, I scrambled so to get in your contest that I never checked the comments. It is a happy and fortunate coincidence that you had previously commented - I got lucky there. Thanks, John, for all the time you give others on Soup. It's always a pleasure 'spending time' with you. All the best ... CayCay
