This is a Good Life

This is a good life.
Down the rocky lane, I see,

Miles of blue, green, and trees.

My mind perceives an infinite reverie,

While my skin attracts tiny bees. 

This is a good life.

The billowy clouds swim before my eyes,

The  birds' screech and the hawks' cries.

My garden of plenty attracts beautiful butterflies,

And the sound of the clock quickly dies.

This is a good life.

I can see the stars, 

Drown out the sound of cars.

Contemplate life forms on Mars,

And see the sky, wide and far.

This is a good life.

The sun sets below the line,

Earthly scents and sights, so fine.

A cornucopia of treats, divine,

This wondrous, good life of mine.

Beautifully written, capturing the essence of the moment, just being, observing the beauty that surrounds our blinkered selves, if only we were to stop and look. If they did, they might see something more interesting than their phone screens.
Lovely work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your kind words! One of my favorite things to do is sit outside and simply observe and be. It makes me feel whole and connected amidst the whirlwind.

[Lorry]

Yeah, you can tell :)

Indeed the world is a wondrous place, and when all is well, life is great. I'm a glass half full man and enjoy a life to the full, not here long enough to be moping, moaning and searching for reasons to be miserable. A very good read.

I feel like I should post a picture of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music twirling around amidst the mountainous green landscape to further enhance the imagery of this good life :D
Thank you for your kind review!

Oh yes, and include the soundtrack......" The hills are alive with the sound of music....."

I think a metal version of this would suffice :)

Observation of the pleasant things around us is so good not only for the soul but the pen. I enjoyed this and the repetitions were in the right place.

Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

Very Good. You have caught the beauty of nature well and how it can be an escape for us although it's hard to escape the noise of cars.
Well done.
Would YOU like to have a look at my story 'between heaven and earth' which is about the same idea..
Cheers,
Alan
