Sunlight dances on soft waves
Shimmering across the river
I watch silently from the dock
As nature performs before me
  
Golden light gleams brilliantly
Surrounding me in its glow
I feel the warmth on my skin
As peace resonates in my heart

Green leaves dance on the wind
As the trees sway all around me
A gentle breeze caresses my face
And I smile to myself

I feel more alive today
Than I have in a long time
Calm and relaxation rule
In my once restless heart

I sit in this sanctuary
Where nature flourishes
As I begin to plan
My future at last

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is beautiful....
Hasn't nature been to cool .... the moon,
the clouds... the colors in the morning sky....

You have captured the feeling of a calm with such beauty. This made me breathe a little slower and lowered my stress level a notch or two. I love it, Lady.   Its good to see you posting again.

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.
