THE LURE OF NATURE

THE LURE OF NATURE

The sounds.
Crash.
Swoosh.
Bang.
The smells.
Salty.
Fresh.
Fish.
The sights.
Blues.
Sun.
Birds.
The feeling.
Ocean breeze.
Wet.
Cold.
Nothing is like it.
Nothing can ever replace it.

DOOR TO NOWHERE

Some days you want to escape
to a place far away.
Meet new people,
Leave old baggage behind.
Open the proverbial door
to see if the grass is greener
on the other side.
But most of the time it isn’t.
A door balanced at the edge of a pier
might not be holding the answers to your dreams.
Home may be the place that has had the answers all along. 

LIMTED ACCESS

Our view of the world is limited
to what our minds
can see and understand.
As we look out at the world
with our human eyes,
it’s as if we’re looking through
a small and narrow keyhole.
A keyhole that lets in only
select sights and sounds.
We should not be so comfortable
and arrogant with our lives,
for we are just specks in the universe.
Specks that are allowed only limited access.

THE DARK ABYSS

Falling…
Deeper and deeper
into the dark abyss.
No sights.
No sounds.
Only the air whooshing by
as I fall.
Will someone save me?
Will I hit rock bottom?
Is there a bottom to this hell
we call life?
Only time will tell.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Life is beautiful.
The colors and patterns to be found.
Textures abound from soft to rock solid.
Sounds radiate through the air
from strands of music to soft cries.
The tastes to be experienced from
the different foods across the world.
If you take the time to see, hear, and taste,
the possibilities can be endless.

TAKE THE BRIDGE TO THE OTHER SIDE

Let’s take the bridge to the other side.
Find new people.
See new sights.
Explore new customs.
Travel can only bring surprises
and hopefully, happy ones.

THIS IS THE LIFE

BEAUTIFUL COLORS
WARM SUNLIGHT
SALTY WATER
SOUNDS OF THE WAVES
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT
YOU SAT BACK AND ENJOYED THE
SOUNDS AND SIGHTS OF NATURE?
NOT OFTEN ENOUGH.

TO BE FREE!
TO FLY WHEREVER YOU WANT.
WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT.
BEG, BORROW, OR STEAL.
THIS IS THE LIFE!

THE RAIN

zen-mommy:

RAIN CAN BE SOOTHING.
THE SOUND OF ITS PATTER ON THE ROOF.
THE FRESH SMELL OF WET GRASS.
WATCHING IT FALL ON PEOPLE AND CARS.
YES, IT CAN BE SOOTHING
IF YOU’RE WARM AND DRY.
