Reflected Trees















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.

  10. Wonderful attitude of gratitude indeed.

    I want to fling myself into nature now, but feel as rejuvenated by your words here, as if I had just rolled in moss beneath a tall sweet tree.

    Thanks!

  13. Above the clamoring of men
    Beyond 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.
