Wanting

I want to sit where I can dream.
Perhaps beside a lazy stream,
That chuckles as it glides along
And sings a throaty, water song.

I want to walk where shadows play
Across the path, then slip away.
Where every whim of breeze and tree,
Commands the leaves to speak to me.

I want to sleep beyond the dune,
Where all night long, the ocean's tune
Does whisper on the beach below
And lulls me with it's ebb and flow.

I want to live where I can be
A part of nature's symphony.
Where I can savor every sound
And wonder, of the world around!

So Lovely! I have all the same dreams. Thank you for the peaceful feeling and the tranquil simplicity and reminder that nature can always sooth a troubled soul..Ellie
