There is a sweet sense of peacefulness
that resides within the heart,
when we openly commune with
the grandeur of nature.
There is a wonderful feeling
of utter calmness
that fills the soul with joy,
when we ride the mighty waves
of the open seas.
There is an overwhelming tranquility
that overtakes our fears,
that provides serenity
to the weary mind,
when we travel the solemn paths
of the forest.
There is a wondrous beauty found
when we look upon nature's
marvelous canvas
and fall under it's all consuming,
sweet spell.
And there is a powerful sense
of spiritual cleansing
when we bathe
in the cool mountain air
that makes us come alive
once again.
