Marvelous

It is morning,
Just after a shower,
The sun sparkles
So brilliantly

The arched rainbow
Is most likely
A good sign for me:

Let us take a walk,
And get away from it all:
A small adventure with you
Changes the sad sky for me.

We experience
The fresh breeze
Rushing all
Over our bodies.

As we walk up
The old dirt path
I feel such peace.

Before our small forms
Flows forth a magnificent waterfall;
When we lay down on the rocky ridge
And sigh in contentment,

It is marvelous,
Isn't it?
The clouds floating
In the sky

I am taken
By the placid blue radiance.
Can you feel it?

The sound
Of the birds serenading
Is so gentle
And soothing

Just a moment of tranquility
Changes the worries
That lay within me.

Let us cross the nature-made bridge,
I will never let you fall,
I will pick you up
And never let you down.

Standing before us,
Are the towering trees everywhere we look.
Close your eyes, listen,
And take a deep breath,

It is wonderful,
Isn't it?
The rising sun's rays
Flow through the trees.

Surrounded in rays
That coruscate all the hues of yellow.
Can you feel it?

Before our small forms
Flows forth a magnificent waterfall;
When we lay down on the rocky ridge
And sigh in contentment,

It is marvelous,
Isn't it?
The clouds
Floating in the sky

I am taken
By the placid blue radiance.
Can you feel it?



Sadly, the very place that brought out such a poem was created into a park a year or so later. I never returned.
