I Walk Onto the Lawn.

Goldfinch60



I walk onto the lawn

To strike my first ball of the day,

But I stop,

Stop and look up,

Stop and look around,

Look and feel the wonder,

The wonder of nature all around,

All around me.

The blue of the sky

Dotted with white puffs of cloud.

The beauty of the buzzards

Hanging in the sky,

Looking at the world below them.

The greens of many colours

Shrouding the hills in glory.

Nature’s artwork cannot be beaten,

Each day, each hour, each minute.

It is different,

Every unique look captured,

Captured in my heart.

I approach my first ball

Thrilled with the glory,

The glory that abounds around me.

    if there is a single person out there... and I do mean anywhere who can read these words without a smile appearing on their face before they get to the end .. then they must be from another planet ....

        Good write Gold.
        Recently though - I stepped outside, then dashed back in, with gloomy black thunder-clouds.
        What was the weather in 1066?

          It was sunny, that's why you could see the arrow!!

          I think you gave us all a glimpse at the true attraction of croquet, steeped in all that nature I can only imagine at the serenity it must bring

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you LB, standing on the lawn and just looking around me I am at one with nature.

              Thank you for sharing your scripted words. They do paint a vision so desired by yours truly; especially right after I saw a sky full of nimbus clouds when I peered through my window early this morning.

                My pleasure Laura, that vision of Nature is so wonderful to me.

                Andy
