MY SECRET

MY SECRET

Sprinkle my path with pretty leaves & flowers.

I want to look at water & not towers.

Colors to brighten my day.

A place where birds come to play.

I walk to the end of the pier.

I gaze into the depths without fear.

I watch the fish swimming by,

Not monsters lurking nearby.

Allow time to pass slowly and be savored.

Whoever comes this way will be favored.

I think it’s only prudent and fair

To share my secret with those who care.

PERFECT

The stream flows

across rocks,

reflecting the sun’s rays

along its smooth surface.

Follow the blue lights downstream.

Dip your toes into the cold splendor.

Life can be perfect.

A DREAM

Radiance by IsacGoulart

Rays of sunshine color my world.

In shades of yellow and green.

Palm trees wave in the breeze.

Cooling my face on this summer day.

I bathe my face in the cold water.

Water droplets let loose in the humid air.

Soon my body is floating on the water.

As it carries me downstream.

I don’t care if my clothes get wet.

I must follow my dream on this hot day.

A RAINBOW OF DELIGHTS

Follow me.
Through the colors.
Past shimmering glass.
Over piles of crayons.
Colorful sticks ahead.
Cotton balls above.

Can you hear the drums?
The beat of the winged creatures.
Flying so close to the ball of fire.
Feathers taking flight.

Come closer and see.
What my imagination has wrought.
A scene near and dear.
To my thoughts and dreams.

WHAT DO WE NEED?

mountaineous: Punch-Drunk Reverie | Tula Top


What does a person need?
To make him feel safe.
To feel secure.
To feel at peace
with the world.
A stream of water.
A few mountains.
Some sunshine.
Birds chirping.
Blue sky peeking
through the entrance
to your own cave.
It can be as simple
as a floating leaf.
We need so little.
We require so little
to survive.
Yet the world provides us
with so much more.

HOW PERFECT

Watch the water flow.
Down the mountain.
Over the rocks.
Carrying leaves and fish.
To new places.
To new sights.
Watch the fish jump and play.
The sun’s rays reflecting
on the smooth surface.
Listen to the soothing sounds.
The water splashing against
The submerged tree limbs.
How perfect.
How satisfying.
Dip your toes into the cold splendor.
That makes it perfect.

A PLACE OF PEACE

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.

SPRING IN THE AIR

BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY
IF I CLOSE MY EYES,
I CAN HEAR THE WATER STREAM THROUGH THE ROCKS.
I CAN SMELL THE FRESH GRASS.
I CAN HEAR THE LEAVES RUSTLING THROUGH THE TREES.
IF I KEEP MY EYES CLOSED, I COULD BELIEVE IT’S SPRING.

WELCOME BACK SNOW

Look at that water move!

BEAUTIFUL COLORS!

Mountains.
Colors.
Water.
Rocks.
What a great combination they are together.

TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES

I want to run through a field of flowers. Press my face into the scented grass. Run barefoot through the flowing stream of water. Turn my face up to the warm sun while zigzagging through the dense forest of trees. No worries. No cares. Just me and nature.
That is what life should all about. Time to enjoy the miracle of nature and the miracle of life. Babies are born each day—human, animal, fish, fowl. Once we slow down our pace, from the rat race we enjoy following, we will be able to appreciate our lives better. Appreciate what we really have. We live in a beautiful world with diverse cultures. The sun rises and shines for us each and every day. Nature provides for our needs with water, air, shelter, and food. We should be content with just this. We don’t need more. More is unnecessary. It just adds stress to our lives.
So take the time to smell the roses. It will change your whole outlook on life—for the better.
