Tranquil Thoughts

"Has solitude ever led your steps down a green
forest path to linger in tranquility"
                                      Quote _by Poet

Powder puff clouds sail across the deep, deep blue sky, 
and peaceful eagles soar and dip in a fly by;
the flowers gleam like jewels in the sun,
the beauty of the green hued forest makes me sigh.

There is a magic beneath the tall dappled trees,
among the many bird songs and the buzzing bees;
I admire a soft spider web spun,
and the squirrels use tree branches as a trapeze.

Soon, afternoon shadows are stretching long and thin,
oh, a cool rippling stream beckons me to step in;
and some brave birds visit me one by one,
I watch pretty butterflies whirl, twirl, swirl and spin.

Amid saturated colors and thoughts I heal,
oh, the serene forest has so much to reveal;
seems that nature is God's favorite son,
and I am wrapped in a cool blanket of surreal.

"and the birds twitter like whispering violins ... "
                                      quote by _ Poet
