When the Sun Illuminates a Sapphire Sky

Cassie58

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

    A most peaceful state is formed by this poem. It flowes with the stream and wind. Beautiful images painted.

              Breathtaking imagery I'm thinking you have many memories of your days abroad too, nothing like England on a sunny day either. Last time I flew into Heathrow I saw London on my left I'd never flown in blue skies true story. 🌹

              • Cassie58

                Thank you dear Teddy. My poetry writing has been in the last ten years or so. My travelling was done prior to this time. Maybe I should pen one on China πŸ™‚ Flying in to Heathrow and seeing the city of London is amazing. A wonderful experience. 🌹

                My heartbeat slows, I drift, it all feels far away... almost there myself, Cassie.

                • Cassie58

                  Thanks Dave, relax and drift. Put your feet up. Pleased you stopped by.

                  I`m sure Tolkien would like this one!

                  • Cassie58

                    I’ll take that as a compliment Mutley. Thank you so much for stopping by.

                    • Mutley Ravishes

                      Very Sara Teasdale.

                        What a lovely thing to say Kevin. Thank you so much.

                        I imagine that as a reverse tree hug of sorts, having reclined against a low lying branch myself and splashing the streams flow below. Oh for those days. Even now some people would view that as lazing away our productive sunlight hours. But I dare go back! Thanks for bringing us there Cassie.

                        • Cassie58

                          Nothing like chilling out on a sunny day. This is a place I go to compose poetry. Lovely it is. Thank you arqios.

                          • arqios
