Everything Is Exactly What It Seems

Everything Is Exactly What It Seems

The reflection of the moon on the water

Streams of lights scattered across the sky.

The sound of the obligatory silence. 

The glow from the buzzing fireflies.

The post card perfect waterfall.

The gentle animals that walked around,

The way the plants talked to me

The way we huddled together on the ground.

If silence is created by an orchestra of trees.

Then what symphony created you and me?

The patience of mother nature.

The will to perfect all of her designs.

The way two things fall into place

The way two words seem to rhyme.

Two people stranded in a movie.

Lying in the warmth of a perfect scene 

The questions of life were always hardest to answer.

But we finally figured out what it all means.

If silence is created by an orchestra of trees

The what symphony created you and me?

The plans destiny has for two lovers.

Two people forever intertwined.

The mystic of the horizon holds no limits.

For two people who's love is undefined. 

So fall asleep underneath these branches 

Let the moonlight lie on you as you dream

And do not fret about tomorrows troubles 

Because everything is exactly what it seems.

Awsome. Dug it muchly! Wow, I was thinking something along the same lines recently. That if I was surrounded by nature then I could accept the beauty of this reality much more instead of trying to fall back into my inner space because my mind is not free to express itself fully in this material world. But whoa if I could be in the midst of nature, deep nature. I wouldn't need to even mediate. Just to look and feel would be more than enough.

Strong description gave life to your words.
"If silence is created by an orchestra of trees.

Nice visions create by powerful thoughts in the poem. I like the logical ending to the excellent poem.
