With Nature

I hear the swallows sing
beneath the willow trees
as I walk along
the crystal stream

tadpoles dart
frogs leap
the blackbird sails
from limb to limb
calling his glory
for all to hear

the breeze is warm
thick with heady perfume
of sweet honey suckle
growing nearby
on nature's trellis

I sigh
a dreamy sigh
as I pause
on the grassy bank
sparkling dragon flies
hover over the water
cattails rustle
a mallard squawks
several cottontails
nibble on clover
 
I stretch out to rest
relaxing
finally at peace
and in mystical contentment
I doze off to sleep

A lovely job. You evoke a tranquil scene with great skill and the sense of being at one with it is vrey strong. So, too, is the inner peace which is achieved as Nature, like a deep bed, lulls you to sleep. How we all should be from time to time.

What a beautiful image of contentment, singing beside the stream. I'm locked up inside today, and needed a bit of nature's peace.

This is a very beautiful poem. I can just see it and see myself there. I love this!
