A Poem

I occasionally dabble with writing some poetry. I was going through one of my "ideas" notebooks and found the following poem. It appears that I wrote it somewhere around October/November of 2007. I must have been feeling the pressure of the daily grind. Let me know what you think.



The long green blades of springtime grass
Performing for no one as they dance in the breeze.
The wild flowers allow the zephyrs to spread their scent
Putting the random and rare visitor at total ease.

The clouds randomly float silently across the vast expanse above
Providing brief moments of relief from the midday sun.
The leaves of the majestic trees rustle their whispers to one another;
Their secrets safe as they are shared with none.

A place of beauty so rich and complete
Where solitude provides replenishment to the empty soul.
Damaged by the trials and troubles found in the daily sojourn,
Pressures of civilization build and take their toll.

Quiet screams from all of nature.
Peace and tranquility can be found here.
God has created a beautiful masterpiece,
So those that seek Him will be drawn near.
