The silence of the earths carpet
Broken only by the resounding crunch
Of dry leaves swept about like waves.
My two beagles search keenly as though
It was a new and exciting adventure
Rather then our daily walk.
The spring soil has a pungent smell.
Green leaves wave briskly as the
Breeze stirs granting the sunshine
To peek through the lush foliage.
Tiny flowers peek out shyly, proudly
Showing off a burst of brilliant color.
I breathe deeply, eyes closed allowing
Warm rays of the sun on my body
Healing, soothing, enticing me back.
The frenzy pace of life slows. Gently
I drink deeply, savouring, enjoying.
Peace fills my very being in a most
Refreshing, renewing strength that says
Thank you Lord -- Now I can go on.
