Morning Glory


Gently I close the door
stepping barefoot on the grass,
...it tickles!
I love the feeling
of cold dew caressing my skin
like a lover's touch!

In the cool mountain air
my warm breath
mingles with the mist,
an eerie picture from a fairy tale

As I walk, trees come in focus
from behind the mist
their arms reaching gently
touching my face,
embracing me.
Here, on that rock
I sit quiet
not to disturb,
Waiting
for nature to wake up
as birds sing their love songs

The rising sun's ,
liquid gold rays are streaming
through the trees,
Nature's amazing show
coming to life,
precious gems sparkle on the grass
sprinkled from the faeries' hands.

Fragrant wild flowers and pine trees
are caressing my senses
Emerald lake below'
still asleep under
the misty cover,
the loons its only singers.

It is heaven ,
a wonderful creation,
amazing colors
ecstasy for the eyes.
I draw my strength
from nature's healing powers,
its timeless beauty
music for my soul
