Moments of Tranquility

Sitting on a park bench

at early morning light.

Everything is still and quiet.

As no one is actually around

as so soon, After the opening of

the big iron gates. That surround

this city park.

The rustling of the leaves whirling

before my feet.

Due to the light breeze

in the air.

Like a mini tornado.

I watch them dance before me.

I look straight ahead and enjoy

the glorious view. Of the valley

below me.

Sweeping down and beyond

the city parks grounds.

Further, ahead I see skyscrapers

and city life taking place.

Back to the present. I enjoy them

fresh air and the smell of nature.

Hearing birds twitter and the scurring

of the odd little creature nearby

in the bushes.

To where I am resting.

I smile to myself. And think.

This is so heavenly.

Just being at one with nature and

oneself.

I agree dear Dawn.
"I smile to myself. And think.
This is so heavenly.
Just being at one with nature and

I love the forest and the lakes. Places for the children to play and for me to gather my mind. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Exactly Coyote, we all need a special place where as you said gather our minds and find the peace and tranquility to rejuvinate ourselfs for us. Even if it be a special place or just a zen like moment in our own minds. In our house. Dawn.

I have Lake St. Clair close. Nice park and the large lake. Paradise. Grandchildren love the lake.
