Everything moves at such a fast pace and we don’t take the time to pay attention to life itself, nor the beauty around us. We need to slow down and take time to smell the smells, hear the sounds and see the sights of the nature around us.

Take life slow.

Going too fast,

things are missed

as you must know.

Taking time to look around,

amazing things can be found.

Just stop and listen to all the sounds.

Nature can speak volumes pound for pound

and will make you feel brand new,

with new perspectives found.

Release your senses

to do their thing.

Your heart shall surely sing.

Smell the different smells

that are at your disposal.

It does wonders to open your cells.

With this much benefit,

why do many of us get too busy?

We miss out on all the beauty

that was made just for us.

So, why don’t we start

opening ourselves up to it

and receiving it all into our heart?

We would be the better for it.

    DB…WOW…two beautiful nature poems…Midst of Winter and Too Busy…a subject of poems that I haven’t seen from you all that often. These are astounding written images of winter and nature at their very best. You have done a majestic job of capturing the essence of each subject. These are two natural nature masterpieces. Thank you for taking the time to compose and share them and congratulations on having them published so promptly.
