My eyes took in the beauty,
Heart galloped with a sigh...
A tapestry of color,
Aroused my natural high.

Gentle breeze awakened,
Sleepy willow trees...
Along the brook, two turtles
Waltzing with an ease.

Tulips playing peek-a-boo,
Dressed in satin gowns...
Chipmunks chasing shadows,
Hop scotching, upon the ground.

Butterflies a flutter,
Frogs basking in the sun...
Chic-a-dees and robins,
Playing, having fun.

Nature's charm embraces,
Whispers in the breeze...
Squirrels frolic carefree,
Skeeta's taunt 'n tease.

Crayola colored pansies,
Peeking out their heads...
Hummingbirds keep busy,
Round the flower beds.

From bridge I stood watching,
Trout enjoying morning swim...
Reflections upon the surface,
Revealed my child like grin.

The babbling water echoed
A sacred lullaby,
Oak tree with its branches
Reaching for the sky.

Blankets of white daisies,
Still moist with morning dew...
Behind them in the distance,
A gorgeous mountain view.

Scents filled up both nostrils,
Just lingered in the air...
Enchanting sounds of summer,
Balleted to my ears.

Mind was still and vacant...
All worries set aside,
Savoring each moment...
Afraid to blink an eye.

Capturing the beauty,
Soul felt an inner peace...
Eyes relished on the beauty,
Of  His Tapestry.
