Walking in Nature


 

Walking in Nature

Eyes behold nature’s beauty.

Trees dance in its loveliness.

Breeze sweeps over the hills.

Water ripples in the streams.

 

Walking in nature is delightful.

Sad memories just flutter by.

Hearts leap with abundant joy.

Flowers decorate its rolling paths.

 

Animals roam in the green pastures.

Birds celebrate this festive season.

Birth is renewed around the farms.

Musicians greet these new portrayals.

 

But what does happiness mean?

Why walk to the sounds of creation?

How is one’s spirit renewed?

Nature is an incredible change agent.

 

Picking apples and pears in orchards.

Collecting grapes from rural vineyards.

Tasting wines that titillate the tastebuds.

Enjoying the beauty of nature’s abundance.
