Truth knocked me against the wall, softly

Remember lighting a fire?

Tell me, were those mind hands,
mine or ours?

You’re that kind of sound in the rain~

Soothing like songbirds

Even Frodo doesn’t speak of such things

Milky white songs of morning doves

Cicada’s on a warm afternoon

Soft and sensual magic sounds

Great moments like O’Keeffe’s “An Orchid”

A Midnight Sun speaks of, Renoir’s
“Dance in the City”

Serene headlights, glowing strings of romance

Like music slowly lifting us toward Heaven

Softer shades of pastel, evokes you are close

Touching theoretical implementations

Painting “A Girl with a Watering Can”~

Whispering Radcliffe’s “Moonlit Sail”~

Come hither,
this nature,
walk into my still

Turn around and I’m there

Let your eyes caress precious moments

See this beauty, which survives without human intervention

Touch the Eastern Seaboard where
North
South &
West join

Play with my smile

Look,
shhhhhh, listen
reach out and feel
the heart of nature...

Lee

The imagery throughout was nothing short of breathtaking.  An absolute favourite of mine!

Take care.....Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
