ALONE WITH NATURE

Source:weheartit.com

Alone with nature

a feeling like no other.

A sky filled with birds,

fuschia with the setting sun.

Sea breezes wrap around me,

cocooning me in their mist.

Life stands still for this picture,

a glimpse of heaven above.

BECKONING

The colors of nature are

Bright and fresh,

Soothing and serene,

Beckoning for you to take

A stroll through the flowers and

Inhale their sweet fragrance.

Take time to appreciate nature

And all it has to offer.

DRIFT ALONE

coiour-my-world

by peter holme iii

I drift alone.

On the sea of many colors.

A mirror to the pastel sky.

The moon peeking from above.

Jealous of my supreme peace.

As I drift along in my boat.

On the sea of many colors.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

Source:picsgold

Nothing more perfect

than a day at the beach.

Nothing more serene

than the rolling waves.

Nothing more peaceful

than hot tropical sun.

I want to be there.

A PLAN

Why am I never at a place like this?

Why am I always in a dark room typing?

We all make our choices,

and I have to live with mine.

Maybe…

Too many ‘maybes’ in this world.

I need one ‘could’,

and then I’m off to the tropical island.

On the way, I’ll throw my computer

into the depths of the blue, green water.

Sounds good to me.

Sounds like a plan.

INVITING

Inviting.

Serene.

Peaceful.

Waves lapping.

Sun shining.

Tourists frolicking.

Palm trees waving.

Until the night.

Oasis changes.

Shadows move.

Bodies appears.

Wind cries.

The Dead party.

In the night.

All night.

ALONE

ALONE

Alone in a sea of colors.
Drifting in place.
Reflecting on life.
Lost in my thoughts.
No need to move.
No reason to leave.

Not really alone.
Cocooned in my memories.
Amused by my thoughts.
Surrounded by my dreams.
Can never be alone.
Can never be lost.

Relaxed.
Comfortable.
Serene.
Happy.
Falling, falling...
Asleep.

A PERFECT PARADISE

 

A PERFECT PARADISE

Drop your defenses.
Relax your mind and body.
Can you see the garden?
The steps leading up the path?
Climb the steps.
Feel the summer breeze.
Hear the happy chirping of the birds.
Smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers.
Move slowly.
Follow the mood.
The serene scenery.
Climb step by step.
The steps will soon lead you
to a green paradise.
Where hummingbirds flutter past.
Super tall flowers reach high to the sky.
Rabbits scurry between the berry bushes.
How perfect.
How peaceful.
A perfect paradise
for a summer day.

EXCERPT FROM THE DEAD GAME

     The streets of the village were empty of cars or people. Fallen autumn leaves swirled in mounds around the deserted sidewalks. All was quiet except for the soulful moaning of the trade winds coming off the ocean.
     The two cars pulled up in front of the diner.
     “I hope nothing has happened to them,” Shana said as she climbed out of Sam’s car.
     “What could possibly have happened to them? All the years our town was under attack, they’ve been living peacefully. It was almost if they were immune to all the chaos happening around them,” Mike said.
     Shana said, “We should begin at the diner. The last time we visited, most of the town was gathered there: eating and gossiping.”
     They entered the diner with Shana in the lead. The diner was packed with people to overflowing. There weren’t enough seats for everyone, so most people were standing in the aisles. They weren’t noticed as they quietly stood behind the crowd of people at the front door.
     All the villagers were looking at the same thing: at the door behind the diner’s long counter. The door was open, and Shana could see a colorful and noisy carnival on the other side. She knew that there couldn’t be a carnival outside the diner; however, the scene looked so real that she could even see a Ferris wheel turning. Then a little girl from the diner walked through the doorway to become part of the scene; she ran to the clown who handed her a large red balloon.
     Shana’s surprised gasp caused the villagers to turn around and stare at her. She knew that she’d been spotted, so she just smiled.
     Rose walked over to welcome her and her friends to their village. ”I know that this looks strange, but it is totally harmless. This is how we’ve dealt with the tragic events that have occurred around us.”
     “Is the scene outside real or a figment of our imagination?” Shana asked in wonder.
     “It’s both. First, a person imagines a peaceful scene. Once he opens the door, he walks into the fantasy world of his own choosing. Whoever walks through that door with him or her will experience that same adventure.”
     “How could that happen? Are you witches, or supernatural beings?” Shana asked.

A PLACE OF PEACE

bobcronkphotography:

Tropical Sanctuary - Located near Black Sands Beach on The Big Island of Hawaii.

We all need a place where we could relax.
A place to breathe and to feel whole again.
If you don’t have such a place,
you can find it in your mind’s eye.
Picture a place of beauty and peace
and let your troubles wash away.

ENJOY THE BEAUTY

I WANT TO BE HERE.
WHEREVER THIS IS,
THAT’S WHERE I WANT TO BE.
WHERE LIFE IS SLOW.
NO HURRY, NO RUSHING.
TIME TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY.

PICTURE PERFECT

atraversso:

By - Sergey Timakov

Why are the most beautiful and peaceful pictures
the ones without people?
Open roads and wide open spaces.
Views of water and land, without people.
A wild deer or wolf wouldn’t detract from
this beauty.
But a person would.
Does mankind mar the beauty of nature?
Do we as a species ruin everything we touch?
Let’s think about this as we gaze out
at the calm water and blue sky.

A NEW BEGINNING

A picture is definitely worth a thousand words.
This picture makes me feel relaxed and at peace.
The rain hitting the puddles hypnotizes and soothes me.
The beautiful scenery is being washed and renewed
by the cold crisp rain.
The tree's branches hang low
from the weight of the water.
The flowers lift their colorful faces
for their washing.
Afterward, everything will smell wet and clean.
The sun will reveal the wet sheen covering the earth.
All will be fresh for a new day--a new beginning.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX

9:30 PM by Frank Jensen

I need a place like this right now.
I need to relax
and walk away from the computer.
I’ll close my eyes and make believe
that I’m sitting under the tree.
The sun feels good on my face.
Imagination is a great thing.

COME AND JOIN ME

The scene looks peaceful and serene.
I could close my eyes and feel myself
sitting there in the shade of the trees.
I could hear crickets chirping and
fish jumping in the pond.
Close your eyes and join me.

OPEN DOOR

Walk through the doorway.
It can take you to wonderful places.
Magical places where the world is peaceful.
Gardens that are green with grass and
colorful from displays of flowers.
Maybe a gazebo with a trellis of roses.
It can be anything you want it to be.
You just have to imagine it.

PERFECT FOR TWO

A perfect setting.
Two boats for two rowers
to row across the still water.
I could almost feel the sun on my face,
and hear the birds chirping.
Time like this is precious,
and should be savored.
We just have to find the time.

GOAL OF THE DAY

brutalgeneration:

Climb to the top of the rocks.
Look out.
What do you see?
Do you see the beauty all around you?
Do you feel that you have accomplished something?
Yes, you have.
You have reached your goal for the day.
That is enough for today.
Tomorrow is another day and another goal.
