come sit with me on nature's chair
open your mind to beauty outside
autumn trees have a story to share
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide
open your mind to beauty outside
there is a world of wondrous color
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide
open your eyes, see and discover
there is a world of wondrous color
behold, the spirited red dragonfly
open your eyes, see and discover
on iridescent wings, soaring high
behold, the spirited red dragonfly
can you feel the winds of change
on iridescent wings, soaring high
whispering in a land now strange
can you feel the winds of change
great ancestors know your feelings
whispering in a land now strange
come to the river for quiet healing
great ancestors know your feelings
rise up beneath emotional waters
come to the river for quiet healing
breakdown your inner borders
rise up beneath emotional waters
autumn trees have a story to share
breakdown your inner borders
come sit with me on nature's chair

Thank you for visiting, I am trying to
cope with a changing world.
Peace, light and love always!
I hope that beauty of nature can give us strength to move on... love the way you capture it.
ReplyDeleteBjorn, I hope you are right!
DeleteHi Truedessa - so true - our ancestors lived on a newer land, we are on the changed land, let alone what we're doing to it ... yet the bones of the earth carry on, and trees will grow and give us more nature ... and more stories ...
ReplyDeleteWonderful bench ... cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary,
DeleteYes, nature continues to offer us a place of peace and serenity. May, we preserve her sanctuary.
There is a story in everything indeed. Just have to want to take it in.

DeleteYour poem lifts me up, Truedessa. In dark times, it is beautiful to think of the spirited red dragonfly, and the ancestors, who must be very alarmed right now. The winds of change blow dark. Yet we raise our lightness against them.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, These are dark times and it is hard to keep the light flickering, but we must!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Guys, sometimes nature helps restore my balance and these days I seem to walk a jagged line.
DeleteYes, I think we all have to learn how to appreciate EVERY season of the year... There is beauty everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true, life is full of seasons and each is unique and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteZQ
You are welcome!
DeleteA stirring call to break out of the inertia, a lot of us feel gripped by ... following world events that have rocked so many of the mainstays of western life, that we took as a "given". I love how you make it clear that there is still beauty and peace to be had.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy even in the chaos nature offers us a place of peace and natural beauty
Delete"rise up beneath emotional waters" most important thing in life to move on..
ReplyDeleteSumana that is true, we need to rise and continue towards light!
