Love imagined, Nature’s blessing
Strolling under blissful canopy
Avenue of trees; joined above so green,
High in sky branches greet fluffy clouds,
Meaningless when young,
My Father’s words, ‘lovers’ lane,
Live with me; childhood memories
I see his face glancing upwards
At the concept he so adored
Strolling along a grassy ridge
Distant views across hills supreme
Cathedral shrouded in misty reverence
Rising high greeting walkers
Through a gateway; door to Nature
Pathway guided by tunnel of trees
Imagined entrance meadows supreme
Light shining on pristine vistas
Welcoming all, dramatic views
Hill adorned with copse of trees
Crowning glory heavenly sight
When in winter, sun shining through
Spring leaves a blessed sight
Imagination soars to sky above
Flowing river, greets as ever
Rain or shine matters not
Sound and feeling raindrops falling
Glistening surface caresses heart
Reflections when calm and still
Nature’s beauty transformation
From hills to winding maze of water
Raindrops falling making patterns
Gazing deep from riverbank
Eyes drawn, another dimension
The Universe and opposing view
Sky and river are as one
Space beneath two revelations
Release heart to wander freely
Wandering along, riverside serenity
Ducks and swans exchanging glances
Swans’ heads aloof superior
Signets follow parents’ flotilla
Another world as heads dive under
Another dimension far below
Another Universe imagined
Nature’s gift for all who care.
Simon, you always gift us with words we may ponder, I live on a dirt with an abundance of forest , rivers and lakes. The move truly changed my life.
Dear Larry,
You comment is greatly appreciated. Nothing like Mother Nature to both calm and excite the senses. Life changing indeed.
Calm – and serenity.
Thanks Simon.
Experienced that in walking through nature today.
Your prose put me back there.

Dear Cynthia,
Thank you everso for your comments on Linkedin and Bizcatalyst360. Much appreciated and never taken for granted.
Simon
So beautiful, Simon! What really jumped out at me was, “meaningless when young.” Oh my goodness is that true, isn’t it friend. It’s amazing to me how many years we pass by the wonders of the world without really seeing them. It seems that, only when you recognize how precious our time is on earth, do you allow yourself the take in the wonders the earth has to offer.
Dear Kimberly,
Thank you dear friend for your warm encouraging remarks where there is a natural synergy with the two of us. Yes, when thinking back to childhood days, one begins too realize what parents’ tried to do.
I know my dad spent a fortune sending me to preppy boarding schools; something not always appreciated when ten years’ old! But highly beneficial.
Kimberly my friend, than you so much.
