Nature Calms My Soul
I find solitude along the trodden path
where effervescent sounds from a stream
quiet my thoughts
it descends across green jagged rocks
where the path winds through tall Elms
they stand as sentries... where songbirds sing
through the limbs of morning mist's sunlit glow
of splayed light that pierces dark trunks
moving like a giant chest heaving
from the lungs of nature
their limbs woven overhead...arched
above crumpled leaves that lay against the edges
of my chosen path
I pause to sit in silence
to allow my soul to see and hear
and free my burdens from the mundane
in this wondrous place of solitude
where my mind drifts in dreams
of unfettered thought
with the serenity that surrounds
the songbirds songs
when I turn inward in quiet reflection
