Slowly, gently flows the tuneful stream,

The sun’s rays dancing along the surface.

Enveloped in the sheen are water, earth and heavens

And I am lost in the wonder of this awesome creation.

I close my eyes, so that I may take it into me,

Feeling a mild brush of breeze slightly stir,

Then surfacing from the dream, I spy the sun

And wonder at how it settles beneath the scarlet horizon.

Yet, before the sun slips into its sleep

It graciously glances back , streaming its good-bye.

All blends together: the taste, the smell, the colors,

Creating sweet harmony inside of me.

Here, in nature, my soul is calmed,

I blithely bid farewell to my pain,

With open, genuine serenity, I laugh

Thus I send my greetings: only to YOU!
