On This Peaceful Day

Cherry

Essence of nature on my mind,

awoken by untamed yearnings;

to see coolness of refreshing,

clear running stream flowing

over smoothness of stones and

glossy rocks, rippling, gurgling,

pure water vital...sprightly like

nymphs shimmering.

 

I'll watch green leaves dancing,

flickering as sun's filtering with

sparkling effervescence, while

hearing birds chirping a greeting

on this sunny day.

 

Walking along a trail of woody

fragrance in gentle cool breeze.

I will not let this vision go, but

secure it in a poem with symbol:

LOVE. Bees and butterflies will

take flight, blissfully unaware...

far too busy to notice radiance

on such a peaceful day.

Love this little poetic meditation Jenny, thank you for capturing and sharing it here.

I hope it's a bit cooler where you live now, and that you manage to get out into your garden at least, and maybe in a while for a walk.

Hi insert,

glad you liked this little poem, I wrote it while sitting in the garden. It sure is a lot cooler thank goodness. I still find it hard to walk around much though, even walking around the garden leaves me out of breath and coughing, but I'm still smiling, so it's not all too bad.

I'm grateful when I get a good night's sleep, but still having bad nights. Still waiting for my test results.

Thank you for reading and letting me know your thoughts and thank you for the lovely cherries too.

Jenny..

Thanks for this trip down memory lane Jennifer, when I was alongside a river and then in a forest and back to the river in the mountains, a tranquility that breathes new life for sure. Have a wonderful month of June :)

That's great that I could take you to such peaceful surroundings Shannon. Nature is so calming and leaves me reflective too.

Appreciate the read and your thoughts.

Many thanks.

Jenny.

Beautiful, Jenny! Thank You so much for sharing. I hope you get to see a stream, soon. I love watching birds bathing in our garden, I hope your partner is able to fill up the birdbath for you, but streams are special, bustling along catching the light and laughing about it
Hoping you sleep well tonight
