This Special Place

Nature's
verdigris face
beams at waterfalls touch
evergreens drink a hearty fill
moss is abundant upon the limestone;
I sit dangling my feet in the
cool aqua-watching swans
glide lazily
along.

a taste
of springtime peace
invades my spirit with
its' lure in this place every year;
mother earth is a sweet nurturer, soft
of caress to the soul who needs
an escape from the grind;
tranquility
wondrous!

Mother Nature always fascinates me my friend. These fine verses sing out loud and clear. A gem and a true fav too. God bless.

No mummy and baby bear visits this year - they are going to miss you, their sense of smell good, they can sense your love for them. As for this poem such a delight to read - tranquility in life is so needed, glad you found it MLK. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
