Everyone has a special place they go when they daydream...
The day is bright; the sun sweltering, glinting off the
whispering tendrils floating from limbs jagged and strong. Dewy drops fade on golds,
browns, crimsons and greens leaving only a chilly memory of the night’s frost
behind. Rays of golden light filter through nature’s canopy forming halo’s for
earthbound angels. Earth’s giants sway, creaking to the tune of God’s breath.
Wisps of fragrant pine needles, fallen cedar logs, and dried
leaves guided by a gust of wind attack the senses. Wild flowers still in bloom,
bending gently in the breeze carry their sweet perfume across the open meadows.
Cool, soothing water trickling and flowing over rocks and sand tickle the nose
with its pure, clean, invigorating scent.
Birds flit across the sky, weaving in and out of branches
set high, flashing occasional bursts of color; painting the landscape with specks
of cerulean, yellow, scarlet, ochre and onyx. With their presence comes the
sound of their chittering, chattering, singing, and calling; musical cacophony drifting
across the valley and foothills.
Soft, sweet scented moss blankets the ground creating a bed
of silky chartreuse and spongy comfort. Butterflies floating on the wind dance
momentarily across outstretched fingertips, teasing delicate skin. Warm air
sweeps threads of hair across a sun kissed face leaving tingly shivers running
up the spine, while colorful leaves drifts slowly from their branches like
escaped feathers.
The sweet tangy zest of lemongrass is savored while thoughts
steal away moments. Refreshing mineral water cupped in open hands soothes a
parched throat and quenches thirst. Peace, peace is all around; surrounded by
love, energy and the gift of life. When I close my eyes this is where you will
find me.
This waterfall is one of many from Rickets Glen, PA a trail along 26 waterfalls close to my home...I'm such a nature lover that these thoughts and feelings tend to come across my mind often.

...my... and in this, the voice of yet another who should be named a goddess... This magical spell you've woven from the closing of your own eyes...it's nothing short of...awe inspiring... Reading this, I'm kind of jealous of your talent, and proud to have laid eyes upon this at the very same time. I'm writing a novel, and I wish it could sound just half as good is this piece is. This reminds me of the most pristine moment I can think of; the most perfect day for sparring my thoughts on warriors who found heaven in the pursuit of death. This is AWESOME.
how scenic and serene - beautifully worded!! a wonderful piece - powerfully imaginative and creative! I love some of the lines you've used - "The sweet tangy zest of lemongrass is savored while thoughts steal away moments." - so evocative! nice!
What a great inspriration of words, thoughts. A place you can
go and call your own. I believe this is the best piece

I love the peacefullness of this...the colors, textures,
sounds, smells. Wonderful!!
Really, really beautiful write! I love the descriptions you used, they really make the images of nature stand out...as if we're looking through your eyes.
What a beautiful tender joy washed over me as I read these words. I walk daily to a river near my home, and your poem transported me to that place of utter peace. Exquisite...
Ark One was right, this is a delightful place to go, your vivid descriptions transported me there, where I could almost smell the pine needles and wild flowers and feel that breeze upon my cheek..wonderful
This is a grand piece of prose. Your poetic voice resonates in my mind as the picturesque scenes are displayed in vivid reality. This is truly awesome Denise! I think maybe you have described Eden, or at least what I picture that place of divinity to be...

I'm still quite new to the writing world other than the fact I enjoyed and excelled at English through my years of school and college. I mostly just write poetry because of my scattered mind and deep .. more..
