A glance, a chance to reflect,
staring deeply within myself.
Getting lost in nature, a joy,
a peace, allowing much rest.
A moment to take a breath,
a moment to seek the best.
No cares to flood my mind,
no worries to fill my head.
Just me, here with these visions,
bringing much happiness.
Grateful for everyday I am given,
to stand and take it all in.
Excellent tone of appreciation for life and nature...Guess you're having some fun with that camera, eh? Nice shot to accompany your poem.

East for Green Eyes
Above the clamoring of men
ReplyDeleteBeyond the desire for riches
And the power of fools
And the revenge of the righteous
And the recriminations of the abandoned
Just give me my portion in Beauty
Here, my humble bowl
Fill it with the snow
Of cherry blossoms
And the fragrances
Of timid goddesses
This is my nurturance
And heart's desire.
