Tranquillity

Tranquillity and peace

As the breeze gently caresses towering trees

Carpet forming

As leaves fall gracefully to the ground

Music heard

From bubbling brook and when a magpie sings

Comfort felt

As I lose myself to nature all around

Cathedral Sky

Where stars beam the radiance of the night

On Open Plain

Horizons unbroken by any form

How small I feel

Under the velvet canopy, the vast expanse.

Emotions Rising

Pondering why we destroy what nature has born

Smog filled cities

Tearing at the throat, eyes rebel in watery revolt

Cars and mills

Creating clouds, from which, only toxic rain will fall

Chaotic Urgency

To appease the god that demands the might of wealth

No time to see

The beauty of the land, to pause, to dream at all

The Spirit Calls

I return to the forest and the plains with joy

I feel the earth

I walk alone, feet bare, naked as born

Rejuvenating

Once more nature's energy flowing in my veins.
