At Ease

Afternoon by the river

Underneath the setting sun
By the river of glory sat I,
It had  been a glorious afternoon
As the last page of my book gave a sigh.

A chilling breeze touched my cheeks
I felt at ease with mother nature's delight,
The love I felt I cannot explain
But it was of purity and light.

The twilight whispered through the trees
The serenity was beyond compare,
The world seemed strangely silent
As the swans swam by without a care.

As if they and I were not of reality
But of some strange mist of time,
I looked around the park it was peaceful
I had smelt the roses this day in this rhyme.

The love in my heart overflowed
I had felt nothing like this before,
I realised that the swans were angels
I wept with happiness until I could weep no more.

For god in all his blessings
Had chosen a poor person like me,
He sent the angels on this day
To lift the darkness from my mind
So that I could see.

See  the beauty of each day
Mother nature's wonderful colour,
To make me realise how lucky I am
To have life to help my sister and brother.
