The Hidden Beauty
My imaginative juices flow in a smooth rhythmic motion.
The brilliant colors and scent of nature stimulate my emotion.
I watch as nature awakens before my eyes.
I pan through the leaves and gaze up the trees and into the sky.
I then focus on a vine as it wraps around branches and deep in the bush.
Intrigued by the growth I follow with my fingers and reach the source with a push.
My palm opens to explore the source as my eyes grow wide.
A delicate pink rose is revealed and soft to the touch as I sigh.
The once hidden rose appears to strengthen and expand into a majestic bloom.
The sounds of the forest come alive as the spirit of nature swoons.
Nature tells an amazing story if we take the time to observe.
The calm flowing water the flowers in bloom are the perfect recipe to ease the nerves.
It reminds me of the pace life can lead.
Realizing I pause if but a moment to truly be free.
