Nature's Solace

I soared through the heavens and savoured the sights

Through silvery moonlight that coloured the night

I danced with the stars and sang with delight

Of the endless beauty and miracles of life

I sat against the bark of a lonely willow

Gazed at the sheep that grazed the meadow

Dipping my feet in the waters a shallow

I closed my eyes with hope for tomorrow

I waltzed with the breeze that brushed through the woods

On top of the mountains gaily I stood

I swam in the river spoke deep with the clouds

Mother Nature’s children that make her proud

Found peace in the rivers, mountains, night sky

Solace in the breeze that swept me up high

With pictures forever in my mind’s eye

Any day and happily could I surely die
