reflections (EXPLORE)

Amongst the emerald towers,

in the midst of the pines,

the sun warmed my body;

I prespired wines.

 

Billowing clouds, so far off in the distance

lingered in the blue.

Shades of aquamarine and cornflower

toned the overhead view.

 

Inhaling the pure mist

along with clean air,

I breathed in actual relief;

refreshment to my despair.

 

Across the meadows, far away,

were big globs of sepia rock

that stood tall and proud

homing many a hawk.

 

Under my toes were slender leaves,

creeping from beneath me;

shooting out in all directions;

tickling my knee.

 

In front me, was a pool of delight

with clear water flowing gently.

Ripples of jade and sapphire

dancing close to silently.

 

The mainstream was still tepid;

seeming so tranquil to me.

This was true perfection

staring back at me.

 

I then wondered

why I'd seen

an image of myself

within the gleam.

 

I figure God

was sending a sign

to let us know

that all mankind

will have their day;

All are special in some way,

 

so we must do the same for nature.

We must lend protection,

as it does for each of us

by casting our reflection.
