Woodland Brook

Soft at first, the melody grows louder as I near The carefree brook skips through the wood Singing to herself, laughing at her song Warmed by the sun whose golden fingers Dance upon the surface, and caress the ripples She meanders aimlessly, exploring, embracing I am taken by the silence that surrounds me No sound save the waters lullaby Her symphony floating lightly o'er the glen I bask in the peaceful essence of the moment Nature, christened in her flowered gown Applauds the melodic serenade 11/15,2011

Bob, absolutely beautiful, takes me to a small stream where my mother and I used to set up our painting easels and paint the scenery, much congratulations on your win.

I guess someone's got to like them:) And you are very perceptive. I had a child in mind when I wrote this.
