Notes About The Poem

Bel Air Country Club, 10768 Bellagio Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90077, US -  MapQuest

The Gentle Soliloquy of the Country Air

Oh, breathe me deep, for in my gentle sigh,
You hear the voice of fields beneath the sky.
I sweep the clover and the dusty lane,
A voiceless sermon in the sun and rain.
No city’s clamour on my current rides,
The honest scent of pine where nature hides.
I carry whispers from the rustling maize,
And cool the brow in August’s sultry haze.
I am the chorus of the quiet dawn,
The breath of mist above the dewy lawn.
I tell of seasons, in a simple way,
And speak of peace, you lose from day to day.

beautiful imagery, like I was actually experiencing country air. I'm fortunate, I live on the outskirts of a semi rural town and can still experience the 'country air.

I live near the heart of our town, where the tourist bus unloads eager shoppers of country wares fashioned by local artisans.
