It's Quiet Now
It’s quiet now
Here
Where waters lap among the reeds
I can hear myself think
And a hundred impossible flights of fancy are possible
Here at the laver
Before the temple of God
- the fire pops –
And smoke stirred by a vagrant breeze
Ascends like incense
Bearing my thoughts like pristine prayers
Heavenward to Nature’s God
Alone at twilight
Til nearby song birds sing
And I look across nature into the eternity
Nature's changing face reveals
And I wait ‘tween the promise and the dream
Here

And smoke stirred by a vagrant breeze
Ascends like incense
Bearing my thoughts like pristine prayers
Heavenward to Nature’s God
Alone at twilight
Til nearby song birds sing
And I look across nature into the eternity
Nature's changing face reveals
And I wait ‘tween the promise and the dream

This is such a catharsis to the soul. Nature is my church and love my religion ( though it's tough at times ). There's just something about staring into a fire at dusk, isn't there?
Something speaks to the soul at such times and in such places that I would be at a loss without.

There is a balance in nature. I enjoy the peace away from electronic distractions.

What a wonderful feeling reading this.
Nature has its own music and collaborators.
Birds and the wind. Frogs and the water. So many things that work together to produce nature.
Quiet at times has a symphony amigo:)
Loved this write!

You're going way back!
Its one of my favorites. Just trying to capture how it feels outdoors. I'm glad you were able to feel the vibe, Amiga 🌼
