Beauty and Rest
Submitted by: Larry McMillan
Category: Poetry
Water cascading,
Making small droplets
Creating a fine mist
Against the sun that does shine,
Making rainbows with colors so fine,
Filling me with longing
Forever just to sit and stare
At their lovely mystic flare.
With colors and peace in essences bare,
The beauty of nature it does share.
Stripping away all my care
And leaving me bare
Of thoughts that would hinder me there.
I sit on my grassy chair
And in hypnotic trance I stare,
At all the beauty I see there,
Beckoning me to never leave there
Forever to share
The beauty that is always there.
