( A Warm Hello)
I look out at the landscape
that unfolds in front of my eyes
every piece of nature screaming with beauty.
The sky painted before me and the lone bird flies.
The grass that sparkles green with dew,
and swans glide through the crystal lake,
I see ducks waddle in groups of two,
and night invites itself over.
The trees sway with the wind, so gracefully,
as nature sings me a song, so heavenly.
the lake still shimmers as the moon burns down,
my eyes breathing the scene, tasting the sound.
I want to escape forever and stay in this place, so peaceful,
leaving my troubles to other people.

But that would be ---> selfish.

so instead I drag myself from such an exquisite site,
plant myself in reality,
and leave behind the precious night.

An incredible write depicting such a serene setting. My favorite line ... " and night invites itself over " , as if it could be stopped were it unwanted. Beautifull writting.

really beautiful imagery in this one... i love these lines especially:

The trees sway with the wind, so gracefully,
as nature sings me a song, so heavenly.
the lake still shimmers as the moon burns down,
my eyes breathing the scene, tasting the sound.

powerful! good stuff all around in this one.
