Nature

A floating carpet
beneath my feet
as each dawn
the sun we greet

As each breath
we all must take
as twilight ends
at daybreak

The mist must rise
to kiss the sun
awake from silence
another day begun

The birds break the silence
herald the dawn
their joyful singing
awakes the morn

These lingering moments
captured in time
lasting forever
until the end of time

As life hurries onwards
people rush by
not seeing or hearing
what's before their eyes
— Electric Blue, Apr 16, 2008

NATURE

Barbara Thank you my friend. I just love walking alone in the stillness away from manmade noise just to see hear and feel the elements in their rawness. As with the grass a gentle breeze flows and the grass moves like waves in the sea their rich colours ever changing

You are welcome friend

Smiles:) Barbara My favorite pastime is being among nature listening to all nature noises and feeling its elements. Nothing like raw country living.
