The air is so crispy
The birds are quite chirpy
The magic of nature abounds
As I imbibe all the sounds
ξ
My quick strides grow shorter
My eyesight gets sharper
My senses soak in deeper
Pictures become magically wider
ξ
The lady and her dog walk past
Bow-Wow says hello
The labourer offers a fleeting smile
And he works pretty fast
ξ
So much floral blooms
And golden, droopy trees loom
Scented float of planted perfume
There is simply no room for gloom
ξ
More barking dogs
The tinkle of calm waters
The men play a hand of golf
And a bird catches a grub
ξ
A deep sense of satisfaction
Of peace I sense within
As the Sun peeks to say hello
I am happy to embrace me
ξ
My passion has called
Now, no longer ignored
I hear the reverberations
Of the magic hidden within.

Awesome poem! I particularly love the last verse, “My passion has called, now, no longer ignored…” It just resonates with me in a time where I have to make a decision based on my passion. Thank you 🙂
