What better way to find oneself
That by getting lost in the forest
Leaving all idle chatter behind
To seek solace at nature's breast
In the hush of that woodland scene
Birds and insects whisper in their nests
A stream a sweet lullaby will sing
And treetops dance at your behest
Now lay your head on mossy bank
Dreaming now of a peaceful world
For this is gift that God has given
Far more precious than an emerald
When you wake to the smiling sun
All your worldly cares will be gone
Take heart, hold fast, you're born anew
You've found yourself for you have won

You make solitude sound like the beautiful blessing it can be, especially when we find it with nature.
ReplyDeleteWhistles!!💖💖This is absolutely incredible writing, Robin. I too love to walk about in the woods and find inner calm and peace amidst the chaos; especially adore the lines "Now lay your head on mossy bank, dreaming now of a peaceful world; for this is gift that God has given far more precious than an emerald" Beautifully executed. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support 💖💖

It is such a blessing to be greeted such when venturing into the jungle. Soothing and peaceful unlike what one might assume, the presence of wild animals
