Natural Serenity

Listen to the rushing water
As it's silken ribbons
Cascade down the rock face.

Hear the rushing wind
As it's soft carresses
Gently shake the leaves in the trees.

Listen to the laughter
As the ribbons slide
Over the rocks at my feet.

Feel the spray
As the ribbons vaporize
Silken clouds float across this Eden.

Feel the fur
As the magnificent white tiger
Moves beneath my hand.

Feel the peace
As the beauty of this place
Brings out such perfect
Serenity.

I'm not a paid member so I don't think I can get the pic countrybabe made for me to show, but I really loved it. Here's the link for it. http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k237/Countrybabe26/?action=view¤t=Backgroundformythological-mouses-1.gif In an attempt to still show nicely I posted a waterfall background.

    Brava!

    You captured the tranquility of nature when it is calm and beautiful and you did not need a picture to do it! The words you wrote painted the picture for you! Wonderful!

    There is a certain...meditative nature to this poem? I feel as though this could be read well people are meditating and bring on a very serene feeling. You bring about a beautiful scene with your poem, pulling the reader (or at least me) into this peaceful place.

    A very auditive write ...

    The repetition is a visualization of the never-ending cascade. I also loved the ribbon metaphor, for it reminded me that water is our lifeline to health and purity.

    Well done!

    Love
