Simple Pleasures

I strolled along the river bank, in shade of woodland tree’s Fragrant wild flower scent, was hanging in the breeze There in amongst the colours, of every green you’ve ever seen I came across a waterfall, in the mid drift stream Sunlight played in the waterfall, a glory to behold Shining in its crystals, turning them to gold Then I spied fisherman, all white with webbed feet Ah a hungry Herron, was out for bite to eat I sat near where the dragonfly’s darted in and out the reeds I watch them, as listened to the bird’s among the trees I paddled in stream felt cold water on my toes I laid back on grass, and let the flowers kiss my nose And as I gazed upon the havens, two cloud were riding by They look like giant horses, white stallions in the sky Later I chanced upon a glade, where I stop to have a rest There I saw a sparrow, collecting Foliage for its nest It hoped, n bobbed, and skipped about, as busy as could be Though it is a simple thing, a pleasure it was to see. Then I climbed a near by hillside to reach higher ground So I could look upon the beauty of this valley I had found The sun drape low in the sky, the day it had grown old The river like a mirror was shining green and gold. That when I herd their call, then they caught my eye, Group wild geese, were silhouette against the sky, Their beauty magnified, by the backdrop of an amber sunset, Which crowned the dusk of this summers day, I’ll not soon forget.
