Serenity


Spinning earth
Gulps me away
In a circle
In a pattern
I can not break free from.

Leaves green with spring
Grass soft from rain
Wind gentle and warm
Brushing my skin
Ever so softly
Ever so softly
Cooling to the touch
Raising every nerve
Sending a tingling sensation
Through every course of
My body.

Rain drops,
Softly, cooling, soundly
All around
All around
In a circle
In a pattern
Across my skin
Now wet with life
Seeping into
Nature's mysterious soul
To be
My serenity!

  3. I love rains and I loved this so much.. specially the last lines...

    "Across my skin
    Now wet with life
    Seeping into
    Nature's mysterious soul
    To be
    My serenity!"

    It was so beautifully sensuous and fantastic imagery...
