Simpleness

Take time to stop and enjoy the simple things.

So cozy and still
Settled by the river
In a canopy of color
With orange and yellow leaves
Laid ever so right
Almost as if
Each one was laid in place
Carefully and perfectly
With an ever still hand

Oh how I long
To sit on that bench
Soak in the warm sun
While watching the river
Become a part
Of the color
Feel it's care
Around me
Holding me

It's days like now
With the world rushing by
I see that bench
By the river under a canopy of color
And long to sit there
If only for a minute
To enjoy the simpleness
To enjoy the beauty God gives us
That we're soon
To busy to see.

~ love the picture... and love your words... each word has been placed perfectly to create a lovely atmosphere and a lovely sense of gratitude to nature... yes, we're often too busy... just too busy... i think all of mankind needs to slow down... seriously... and you've beautifully articulated why... excellent work...
