~ Serenity ~
I slip into the garden
'n let my thoughts run
free
escape the pain, the
heartache
while kissed by summer
breeze
Pansies rise to greet me
with faces all aglow
squirrels chitter chatter
as if to say hello
My troubles seem to vacate
for just a little while
memories past and present
revisit with a smile
The evergreens stand
watching
birds nestled in their
arms
it's here I find serenity
embraced with nature's
charms
Tiny toads play leapfrog
bees hum a lullaby
chipmunks frolic carefree
right before my eyes
My shoes kicked off, I
ballet
let green grass tickle
feet
like a child on tippy-toes
seeking other treats
Giggles find the surface
escaping from my throat
happy thoughts of
yesteryear
keeping me afloat
Caught up in the moment
enjoying nature's song
a little girl in pigtails
skipping right along
The air is calm and
peaceful
butterflies flitter past
I wish this very moment
would forever last
But nothing lasts forever
storms darken brightest
skies
our 'morrow's fill with
raindrops
and we question, WHY?
'Tho rain will birth new
flowers
give nourishment, revive
'oft times causes sadness
stirs deep pain inside
Releasing a sigh 'n
teardrop
as sun lifts and fades
away
I gather real emotions
and go about my day
