Nature Reminds Me

Check out my book, Seedy Town Blues on Amazon.com

I don't
understand why
my mind
drifts to thoughts
of you, in the
spring when I'm
alone in the woods.
The dew is on the
grass, and the small
flowers begin to
bud, the petals
slippery and wet,
glistening in the
morning
sun.
The birds sing
their symphonies of
praise, and the trees,
erect and strong, reach
to the waiting sky.
The rain shoots
down, and I
rest.

Oh, I think your mind drifts to thoughts of them when alone in the woods, because that is where you are happiest and contented when there. A good scene captures more than our surroundings, but the memories of joy and happiness our memories collate together as more than just a snapshot.
Maybe exactly what you describe here is the magic key to happiness, with its dew covered grass and bird symphonies perhaps connecting us to the perfect frequency of happiness.
A very enjoyable read.

Thank you so much.

what an interesting story .. the setting and action are serene and connected with the beauty of the natural world around us but i can't help but feel the memory is a loss ... interesting and begs for "the rest of the story"

Thank you for the read and review.

Let the wordy poets have their garrulous ways, but to me, the spare delivery says more, and in a more effective fashion. This work is a perfect example. In uniformly brief lines we are given a beautiful picture of a thoughtful moment in the woods. The imagery is very clear, almost making us believe we are there. I'd like to hear it with the right background music.

I have a youtube page where I read my poetry from my recent book, Seedy Town Blues.

Thank you for the read and comment.

there is little to compare with flowers, trees, birds and bees and with us currently in the midst of a deep freeze, we'd also welcome a change to rain.
A good feeling write

Gently contemplative and meditative read that sweeps softly through a reader's mind ...
