A Natural Beauty

 
drifting through the day
I awaken to the sunshine
deeply filled with a sense of appreciation
lilting on the winds with the trees
communicating with their leaves

drowsy little flowers in the flowerbeds smile skyward
and I smile with them
touching the sky with my love

a tiny little soul wandering nature
connected to the earth and vibrating with the dirt
whispering my secrets to an obliging field

the orchard watches on
sentient beings
stoically keeping record of time

today is a beautiful day
I take note of it in my nature journal
placing a fervently colored leaf there

pressing the memory into my heart
