Beautiful
May 23, 2011
I sit and listen,
To the trees who whisper, and
To the chime’s song that softens.
To the passing buzz of bees,
To the music of birds.
I sit and watch,
The dancing flowers,
And shimmering dew.
The leaves who abandon home,
And the innocent bunnies who pass.
I sit and feel,
The cool breeze whipping my hair,
The warm sun, kissing my face.
The heartfelt sensation of life, and
I sit and wonder to myself
How something that lasts forever,
Can be so beautiful.

Thanks for the comment, but I don't mean the scene itself lasting forever, I'm talking about nature itself and how its beautyl has and always will be there. I just thought I'd share what I meant in the poem, thank you for you comment. I love feedback (:

My only problem with this poem is that you say it lasts forever when it doesn't... Which is why we must cherich these beautiful moments. Lovely poem though. I don't think it's possible to read it without being suddenly flooded with warmth and happiness. Nicely done. :)

I just lived through Summer while reading your poem, thank you very much for that experience, as it is cold and rainy outside right now.
Amzingly written, absolutely beautiful whisper-poem, Lanieloo.
