SERENITY FROM MY BACK DECK!
AS I SIT OUT ON MY BACK DECK,
I SEE THE SERENITY OF NATURE ,
AS IT POSES BEFORE ME;
THE WOODED ACRES STRETCHED OUT
AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE,
JUST LOOK AT THOSE MOUNTAIN TOPS,
PEAKING ABOVE THE THE TREE LINES;
SO MAJESTIC AND STRONG.
THE ONLY SOUND TO BE HEARD FOR MILES IS
THE GRACEFUL CHIRPPING OF THE BIRDS,
AND THE LEAVES RUSTLING IN THE BREEZE;
THE SKY A MISTY BLUE WITH CLOUDS OF
PUFFED COTTON FLOATING BY;
WILD FLOWERS GROWING AMIDST THE FIELD
IN THEIR GLORIOUS COLORS THAT
ONLY NATURE CAN SUPPLY.
I SEE THE SCAMPERING OF SMALL ANIMALS,
GATHERING THEIR FOOD TO STORE ,
BEFORE THE WINTER DRAWS TO NEAR;
T'IS NATURE'S SERENITY THAT CAUSES ME
TO BE AT PEACE WHEN I COME OUT HERE.
