My eyes took in the beauty
I walked along at peace
relishing each moment
the air was fresh and clean

Capturing the magic
'n tasting balmy breeze
chipmunks playing carefree
'neath the tall oak tree

Ripples in the water
where the trout had been
'long banks edge were turtles
peeking out their heads

Birds were chirping love songs
'nestled on tree limb
geese off in the distance
enjoying morning swim

Leaves were brushed with color
had hints of green and brown
their movements ever gentle
danced upon the ground

My eyes took in the visions
with such an inner peace
I lingered there, contented
with spirit feeling free
