when sun illuminates a sapphire sky
and rays make dancing gems upon this stream
a breeze blows softly through the verdant leaves
and i am left to wander as i dream
my back rests arched against the bark of pine
my toes stretch closer to the water’s flow
and cooling crystal laps about my feet
my roller coaster life begins to slow
in harmony my heartbeat and my mind
i drift into a meditative state
i hear the sounds sweet nature as she calls
the world i know is absent it can wait
