Towering wooded arches of festive and stunning hues
droop like weary and lumbering limbs
to protect an effervescent caress
from the stream's snaking rush to refresh.
Inhaling its textures and scents
which glide so effortless through the soul,
fingers of a natural fount tickle the senses,
guiding towards that pause of pure lucidity,
between each heart beat of chaos
we long in desperate muffled snorts to escape.
Slowly, immersing one's essence
allowing it to paint the aura into the living mural
till we are become a pulsing part of its beauty
and no longer just a passive visitor.
Pastoral paradises reach so far into the veins
with rustic strokes to stir a sound,
calming, besetting in a transformation,
life swallowed by the scenery
feeling one's being no longer a witness,
but another colorful easel stroke
brushed upon the setting.
Hearing so intently nature's richest psalm
of ageless majesty,
somehow sensing without question,
a bonding balance of having been there
even before one was born.

That title is extremely awesome; I had to see what it was about. It's simply poetic in it's own right, not to mention the dynamic it has when coupled with the poem.
"till we are become a pulsing part of its beauty
and no longer just a passive visitor."
Oy, those lines are awesome, to say the least. They stand out the most for me.
The fluidity in the poem takes on a life of its own, which is very befitting for the topic. Each line seems to flow into the other so effortlessly.
The imagery is astounding and its matched wonderfully with the vocabulary used.
I really like the differentiating stanza breaks - between one short stanza, then a long one, it gives an excellent look and feel to the piece.
AWESOME!
