Nature's Romance

Change these darkened
days I've lived
To soft summer night dreams

trails that lead over bridged

our lost lazy rivers
these quiet smooth lakes
with chance to remember

of what life does take 

to lay" quiet beside these
letting memories ride free
no cares in the moments

winds warmth passing me

chair lifts to the heaven
can be seen in your mind
known" the power of freedom

feel your spirit unwind

cherry filled treasures
resting lithe in your head
hills rolling with daisies

blessed" Earths welcome bed

this scenery building
within feelings" hold change
that for long" have been needed

like a grass barren range

not to want any more 
than a person should hope
when time" as it's needed

give me grassy green slopes

a romance with nature
each needs" now and then
an interlude to future

with this changing "life friend.
