Inspiration

The fresh crisp air caresses my face
As the Sun greets me with a warm embrace
The birds chirp and call from their hiding places
Nature blesses me with all its graces

The blue sky above fills me with delight
The dew on the grass shimmers in the light
The leaves whisper as they move to and fro
The trees freely tell me all that they know

Inspiration all around me refreshes my soul,
nourishes my spirit, making me whole

Inspired to write this on a walk in my little park,
with all of nature surrounding me. 

Trees

The trees majestic as they stand,
Rise up across the land.

Shielding us from golden rays;

Protecting us on summer days.

The air we breathe they help to flow;

Giving us more than we know.

They reach up into the sky,

Where birds soar as they fly.

The birds take rest from traveling;

Their calls cry out, echoing.

The squirrels bounce from branch to branch,

Staking their claim at every chance.

Providing homes for many creatures;
Finding a purpose for every feature.

The wonders of Nature never end,
Especially these treasured friends.

Walk With Me

The clouds speak to me with white wisps across the sky;
The birds beckon as they fly.

The sun warms me as I walk amidst the trees;
Nature calls to me with every breeze.

My mind quiets as I listen to the sounds;

Sweet stillness echoes and resounds.

Little flowers flock amongst the grass;
Fluttering along the path as I pass.

The joy and beauty is there for all to see,

So won’t you come and walk along with me?
