One Drop At a Time

Baby blue skies extending forever
through verdant valleys 
and hugging mountainsides 

Eagles glide gracefully
on a butterscotch breeze
captivating lost feelings in me

Oh to soar   so solitarily
away from pain strapping me
in to a dreamless scene
where windows are tinted and freedom's only hinted

A glazed gaze away from the day
into a peaceful sun
the futures begun

On top the evergreen it twirls
swaying in the silence 
one drop at a time

This picture you paint in your poem sounds like a good way to escape one's worries. To just kick back and enjoy mother nature.

This was beautiful Tim and uplifting. I love the feeling in this and "butterscotch breeze", I wish I had thought of that.
