- Been Off Enjoying Nature For a Few Days -
“Morning glory is the best name,
It always refreshes me to see it.”
Henry David Thoreau
Whenever this modern day life gets me down
I escape to the vast expanses of the wilderness
And I so eagerly arise before the crack of dawn
To watch a daily occurrence I don’t want to miss
I anxiously get dressed in the darkness
Preparing for the first miracle of the day
Then I soon eagerly head off on horseback
To the nearest vantage point without delay
Here I now sit in silent anticipation
Of yet another glorious new sunrise
Eagerly wondering what new visions
Will soon appear before my very eyes
And I don’t remember ever being disappointed
As I perch extremely still silently facing due east
Because I know that I will very soon be rewarded
With an event that will be a most eye appealing feast
As the first new sunlight peeks over the vast horizon
The endless sky quickly takes on a brilliant orange hue
And the wildwood air is again fresh and clean and sweet
As the magnificent life cycle here once again begins anew
I have never found anything quite as soul soothing
As watching a brand new dawn atop a trusty equine
It’s as if time has suddenly come to a complete halt
And this wondrous recurring event is all his and mine
This is also my favorite time of the day to give my humble thanks
For the natural splendor the Creator has placed here on this earth
After joyously taking it all in once more for a very long leisurely time
We eagerly take off starting another glorious new day filled with mirth
And as we ride off through the vast uninhabited hills lakes and forests
Enjoying truly grand vistas and extremely panoramic views of the sky
Throughout the rest of our extremely refreshing peaceful day’s sojourn
I always retain that first image of yet another magnificent orange sunrise
