Musings of
an Idle Mind….
I wish I had
a pair of wings
To fly high –
far into the wilderness
Where the mountains
kiss the sky
And the
valleys shine in green
I would then
walk- happy and blithe
With no
qualms – in nature’s hug
My hair I’d
leave untied
To have the
wind play with it
I would sit
on the rock in the brook
And listen
to the babble
As she flows
down and down
The curves
so perfect and the pace slow
She makes my
feet look so white
And I feel
the earth beneath
With pebbles
so round and shiny
I would then
walk to the cascades
And by the
slippery rocks I’ll stand
To have my
face sprayed with cool drops
And then
walk back – In the mist as it spreads
As dusk
falls I’d make the green grass my bed
And watch
the sky - in her new dress
So full of
twinkling stars like diamond beads
I’d look for
the Milky Way and the Orion
And wish
upon a shooting star
Watch the
fireflies dance in frenzy
And listen
to the nightingale’s song for her love
Till the crickets
sing me a lullaby
And the cool
breeze rock me to sleep
The silence
of dawn would wake me up
In the tranquility
of nature’s lap
I’d watch
the nascent sun arrive - and
Present his
gift in colors – so myriad- to his love
As she opens
her eyes - kissed by his golden rays
As the birds
rejoice in this reunion
I’d leave the
sparkle of my dew strewn bed
And fly back
– to the undulating plains below..
