In the still waters of the morning’s glow, I’ve watched the
Frozen silence as the moon quietly melts away, into the chilling
Warmth of the rising run rays, that slowly spills across the lake shore!
Ever gently the dawn horizon casts mystical colors, blending, bending
The light unto the shadows of night, which are quietly being swallowed
By the creaking new days silent approach!
Hush now, and listen to the stirring of the tiny sparrows, within there
High perched dwellings above, in the ancient oaken trees of long ages past
These singing song birds of the country, welcome the birthing of the newest 
Sunrise masterpiece, that clings to the outstretching sky of deepest blue!
Freedoms clarity of thoughts devotion, fills the heart and soul of the this
Spiritual soul, gleaning it a poetic canvas of awes amazement, behold
Nature in splendors freeze!
Through these mystic pines I do sigh, as the wind brushes my hair aside,
Against my bare flesh it leaves me breathless, what a wondrous world
To live within, that holds such beauty and wonderment!
In the meadow the horses run free, racing against the morning breeze,
Eating the wild flowers, and munching on the clover leaves, here the 
City seems a million miles away, no stress impedes this captivating 
Scenery of this simplicity painted more beautiful than any picture
Perfect living postcard.
In the late afternoon coolness of the evening, the locusts, and crickets
Corus seemingly join together in perfect unisons harmony to serenade,
The porch dwelling rocky chair elders, whom rest at leisure’s ease, 
Enjoying retirements gentler years at peaceful calms retreat!
Come along let’s chase the lightning bugs, across the wide open fields
Its child plays without adult’s restrictions, I’m all in with laughter’s joyous
Abandonment, feeling the cold wet evening dew between my bare unsaddled
Feet!
Above the opal full moon illuminates the vast open skies, as the stars
Sparkle to the glistening world in glorious brilliance, I’m humbled to
The infinite expanse of this massive universe, for which us human beings
Exist, we are just after all just a small grain of sand in this hourglass
Galaxy so fragile! 
Filling my uncluttered senses, I can smell the fragrances of the country
Evening air, the wild honeysuckle, the jasmine mixing with the alpine
Scent of the distant mountains, here is a Nirvana paradise of my
Four fathers, a simpler way of life lost to the city dwellers world
Beyond!
At any moment I’ll awaken from this beautiful dreaming realm
Of peaceful living, but until then my spirit shall linger here in this
Natural splendor in perfections ultimate freeze, just a poet wishing
On a distant vision forever in slumbers tranquility!
