If you live in a village or a small town you probably see nature living in its natural habitat. In big cities I don't think there is so much of natural beauty and that is why people spend thousands of dollars for tourism in areas where modernization hasn't touched too deeply.
The sky turned red as if on fire
Wind blew gently over cold grass
Birds stretched wings as they sang
They shook feathers while chirpping
Mountains bent onward to show respect
Flowers stood up like loyal soldiers
Stars looked so faint, ceased winking
A remote key deleted them one by one
Quiteness of environment supplied peace
Hardly can I describe the mood it generated
My eyes rambled through the foggy air
I couldn't see anyone coming on sight
But too far away in the wild horizon
A familiar face appeared upon the scene
The sun rose from where the sea ended
We all clapped and danced to welcome it
we celebrated for the birth of a new day
What a pure joy to be awake at day-break
Brother Abdi you have caught the meaning of my desire to return to country living as opposed to living in the city.You do depict joy so beautifully. Peace. love, and blessings. Mikii
Abdi Noor what a perfect gem you have created with this poem! I can sense the pure joy you felt and it is such a pleasure to read of happiness that is generated by the gifts of Creator, and not material things. That's what makes this so special! Thank you for spreading your joy!;-)
Dawn is my favorite time of day. The world is still in a sleepy-quiet state and the air is rich and clean. Then there is the amazing beauty of the sunrise tingling my senses making me happy that I ended my slumber to live within the powerful beauty and splendor of the breaking day. This is perfect, Abdi-Noor, you moved me with your wonderful words.
Take care,
Sherry
