Nature's Cure-all.

Goldfinch60



I walked out of the meeting

Seething with anger;

I drove home shaking,

Almost in tears.

As I came in the house

My wonderful lady was there,

And as I told her what happened

I started to get calm.

I knew what I should do,

So I poured out a scotch,

Laphroaig of course,

Went into the garden,

And sat listening to nature.

The day was ending

And a calmness was all around.

I sat there in the still evening

Glorying in the sound of the birds,

And that calmness started to come

Into my body,

Into my mind.

Nature did its work again,

As it always does.

There seems to be no problem

That comes to me

That just sitting with nature

Cannot cure.
