THE AWAKENING

THE AWAKENING

 

 

When did my senses start to fill to overflowing

Like the trickle of a gentle stream over mossy ferns

Gathering momentum

to spill into a crystal lake of longing?

 

When did the shine of the moon and stars take

On a special glow against the blackness of the night?

 

When the rain starts to pour against the window sill

lightning and thunder start their symphony

Why do I find it the sweetest sound in the world?

 

The fragrant rose seems headier

to me this springtime....

the sun warmer...

the winters’ cosier...

The autumn leaves a brighter hue...

 

Why do I feel like singing all day long

dancing in the street in the rain

Getting giddy on a ferris wheel

eating fairy floss buy fairy dolls on sticks,

trinkets at a country fair? 

 

Oh, to run barefoot in a forest of ferns,

lie in a field of lavender all day long

with buttercups gathered with glee

sun in my hair watching the bees and

butterflies fly free

 

Why do I feel so alive when I could have done

all this before?

Because I never knew the worth of all these

joys before I met you ~

Oh, to run barefoot in a forest of ferns,/ lie in a field of lavender all day long/ with buttercups gathered with glee/ sun in my hair watching the bees and /butterflies fly free" feels wonderful! And nature is something that gives us always this peaceful state of freedom!
