Could Be Anywhere...

WISH UPON A STAR  
                                                                                      
Nature’s song,  as always whispers
gently amongst the trees on the ridge.
The old owl we nursed three winters ago
hoots in harmony from the roof over the bridge.

Nature’s melody waifs upon, softly
the spring night calm, gently warm.
Full moon illuminates the meadow
ripples the pool where the frogs are born.

Her song stirs the grass like waves
or wake of phantom leopard in stalk.
We sit in comfort, serene, peaceful
as we commune with our  silent talk.

Humans never seem to fit, excluded
somehow, never really part of the song.
It's as if critters, earth, even stars
would rather not have us along.

We sigh in resignation, understanding
accept and appreciate as always from afar.
Enjoy as outsiders, the symphony of nature
whisper, “I love you!” and wish upon a star.

Daniel~
Such a joy to read.
The serenity of 'nature's song'
is told so beautifully in your verses.

'We sit in comfort, serene, peaceful
as we commune with our  silent talk.'

Heavenly !

Written with a passion! We can enjoy the serenity of nature, but never quite seem to be a part. Great writing

Very nice. I love nature myself. To go on a walk in the woods and sit and enjoy what God has given us. Who needs movies when you have nature.
LITL,
Heather
