The gentle breeze in the sky,
faint smell of the water, the Warmth
of the Eternal Sun pouring down on the
Lush Green grass, birds chirping their love song

Watching the Leaves in the Blue Sky
Lying in the Soft Lush Grass
Hearing the faint song of the water
Relaxing under the sun, on mother earth

The Wind picks up, Water goes Mute
Clouds overtake the enchanting sky
I feel the ground tremble, the fear
is almost overwhelming to my senses

A faint voice crying out
A beautiful woman, the most lovely
these eyes have laid eyes upon, the depths
of the ocean within her eyes, her voice as
sweet as the wind, her hair seemed to be fire
and beautiful skin, fare and untouched like this portion of earth

Allured by her Majestic Beauty, moving closer while extending my Hand
Time slows to a complete stop. Light, Blinding Light Coming from Her
Swept Away to another Place, Unfamiliar but immaculate.
There She Stands, the Spirit of the Land.  Mother Earth

Silent She remains, but the Pain radiates from those eyes
Fire slowly rising all around my body, but I have no fear of
being burned or harmed, closer the burning fire comes to me. Feeling
The Heat, Not fearing, Knowing this Fire of Love will not Harm Me.
Feeling the Fire on my skin, feeling the warmth from this loving flame.
Closing My eyes, feeling Her emotions through this fire, slowly understanding


Cooling wind blows over my body, Looking around to find myself among the clouds
Riding the Currents, Soaring through the sky just like the daydream, feeling complete
Freedom as the wind dances around me, and passing through clouds like a fantasy
Almost touching the sun, watching it recede into the Depths. Emerging the Moon
Feeling the wind Hold me like a Lost love. Losing all senses and enveloped
Slowly pushing me into the Welcoming Blue Waters...not wanting to let  me go
Slowly sinking into the water, feeling the wind upon my fingertips...

Holding Breathe under the water, slowly sinking downward
Hearing the singing of the dolphins, just as in my dream
Seeing The Light at the center of the Ocean
Everything just as the Dream, moving closer
Mysteriously all doubts and confusion leave
Taken over by a strange desire, Swimming faster
Feeling the water’s warmth, remembering the fire
Feeling a faint breeze, remembering the wind
Looking at the ocean floor, remembering earth
Seeing The spirit in the Center of the radiating Light
Reaching Out for her....Reaching for her hand.......

Back in the unfamiliar place, seeing the four elements before me
Seeing her in front of me, the single tear gone.  Knowing she completed her task.
Hearing Her Faint voice in my mind, showing me the dreams once again
Telling me the reason for the dreams by showing me the truth
We have forgotten the true splendor of Nature, to busy to admire
what is given to us freely....swept away once again


Waking up, back under the sun at the lake.
Everything as it was, Lying back looking out
at Nature and Seeing the Spirit in the Sky
Knowing and Finally, Finally Seeing.



 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

OK, ok..I'm simply echoing the comments above..but still a haunting poem about the beauty of nature..sensaul and intimate and peaceful....left a lingering feeling of oneness
