A Sacred Place

The trees dance

Like it is a joyous holiday

The wind touches my face

Like a mother's gentle hand

This is a peaceful place

The creek runs

So graceful, so passionate

And yet so alive

Like a child's mischievous mind

This place is a place of pure ecstasy

The birds sing

The crickets chirp

All these notes and rythmns

But no human voice

This is a utopian place

Nature,

I walk through

The forest in a state of awe

A place so beautiful

So precious

I sit down

And close my eyes

To listen, just to listen

Not with my ears alone

No, but with my heart too

The crickets chirp

The frogs croak

There is the rythmn

The birds begin to sing

There is the melody

The wind and the water harmonize

And everything blends

The wonders of nature

And the songs it sings

I fall into the music

I forget my problems

I forget my cares

I begin to relax

And I know I am at peace

This is my rest, my sacred rest

You allowed us to listen to nature with YOUR heart and soul, Nickie. The imagery is exquisite here. The beauty of nature came alive when your ink was injected into it. Serene and peaceful! Lydi**

Nature always serves as inspiration for writing poetry. I would love to be able to find a special place as you describe. It is what I imagine Heaven to be like.

Yes. I know this place.
We were created for the garden. It is where we find the rest for our souls. This is the place we will hear the songs our bodies were born to dance to and hear the music our voices were created to blend with.
Thank you for showing us the feel of natures embrace as your soul feels it.
