Lost In Thought

















Standing by waters edge,
I lose my focus of what is here.
Colors dark and rich like fine chocolate.
My mind swirls, thinking of dark days
turned bright and beautiful.
Nature holds so many secrets we will
never see or hear.
This day though, I reckon beauty in
small places, reaching out to kiss my eyes.
I bow to it and give her wink,
breathing in her majesty.
For it is here, just you and me.

  6. Relatable, solid work. I suspect many poets, like us, have written similarly- and timelessly-themed works - such a rich universe of takes on Mother Nature. Keep up that goodness, my friend. :)

  13. The photo and the words...just beautiful.

    Nature is somewhere I love to spend time...it's where I feel most peaceful and connected to that which is beyond me.
