You swim through vast oceans of sky,

drifting between pearly clouds, where

oyster shade colours reflect rays of

shimmering sunlight,

 

pearls of untold wisdom whispered on

soft breeze; dance invisibly, dipping –

rising, capturing all crystal rainbows

of delight...

 

for as air we breathe on a hot summer

day cannot be glimpsed, things aren't

always how they appear. Listen! Hear

gentle ruffle of leaves – feel energy

unconfined, for these are fragments

of life that naturally flows.

Beautiful observations of nature and the buzz of energy all around us when we step outside, Jenny. There is so much happening, you could spend whole days lost in the garden or the woods with no need to travel and spend money on luxuries. Even simply looking up at the pearly clouds is a spectacle.

You're completely accurate in your observations Jane, couldn't have put it better myself. We have so much to be thankful for in nature. 

It really is kind of you to read and leave comment.

Many thanks.

Jenny.

I enjoyed the dreaminess of looking at the sky above, and imagining swimming in its beauty, on a warm day, relaxing.

Took a bit longer to think of the rest of your dreaminess. I imagine the relaxation of the lovely day, the silence and little sounds reminding you of the eternal truths and the greatness of the beautiful scene all around us that is being sustained. Rhiannon

So many wonders are visible, but when I think of the air we breathe, it makes me so grateful to be alive. 

It was a pleasure to read your lovely words Rhiannon. I hope you are having a peaceful day, and thank you for reading.

"You swim through vast oceans of sky.."

The scene set in that very first line.

Highly spiritual and a positive affirmation. 

Beautifully done, Jenny.
