Nature Rises

I sit myself high on this mountain scape 

gaze upward to a sky adorned with wisp white clouds

my head tilts awaiting the sun’s fond kiss

as a gentle breeze weaves 

the valley, the trees, the grass - to me

I breathe,

the sight of a turquoise butterfly, eager to land on a single golden flower,

wings glinting in the sun, directing my wholehearted attention -

I attempt to count its flutters

impossible!

I am getting caught up in the radiance 

a tiny moment of 

all that is

the flower, butterfly, tree, mountains, valleys and me

the sky and the sun

all -

invoked by nature 

with a request to simply be,  

this time, this place

in return a promised existence of

eternal impermanence - 

ah, finally, a place to call home.

[Sami Khalil]

It flows well with the natural beauty surrounding the author. It has immersion and appreciation, release and no coercion.
Enjoyed your write!
