Patiently I Wait:

May the wisdom of the serpent be thine, Close to the earth, as it lives on the ground. Into the forest, we follow the hind, Knowledge surrounds all, waiting to be found. Secretly I sit, silently in awe, Captivated by all the breathing trees, Esoteric in nature, I see more, Against my face, I feel the warmest breeze. Time stands still when you're sitting on a hill, I drift off into a deep calming spell, My soul is replenished, it’s gained its fill, As if I've taken a drink from youths’ Well. Those secrets that fall from heavenly heights, Are gathered by those who turn on their lights. /|\ (10 syllables per line)

Another gem found. This is truly a fine sonnet.. " It so shines in its racing, rhythmic words like Springtime free flight to beautiful birds A light glowing to show Nature's best gems Soft, sweetest melody dancing with hymns" Keep that pen flowing my talented friend! A7

A soothing sonnet Rick, I especially like the second stanza, it's quite lovely, and the sentiment shines through. Nature is the perfect backdrop for poetry as you've aptly proven. Share that wisdom of the serpent with me, will ya? :)
