Captivating... how wondrous Mother Nature speaks to us within and we listen carefully in silence.

Thank you for sharing your heart,
~Linda

I experience this every time I'm out in nature. As I read this, I felt like I was her!

Love ya!

Jane

I can completely relate to what "she" is letting happen around her; probably inhaling the serenity and hopefully allowing it to wash away hurt and negativity. Nicely done, Walt. Love and peace to you,

Regis

i'm luv'n traveling thru your writes...so glad i stumbled onto your work...'of the sea' stuck its big foot out and here i am...i'm mesmerized...i bow to your talent.

can't wait to get back and re-read 'being swept out to sea'. we had a similar experience...still too traumatized to write about...only notes...we were foolishly (as novices) going in at night (inter coastal)...off coarse in st. andrews sound...ran a ground swept into the breakers...tow ran aground coming for us...battered bruised for 7 nightmarish continuous slamming black hours. needless to say we're taking sailing safety lessons etc...was a great learning experience of what NOT to do and what TO do and have aboard...will have to say i was glad to get home to my horses... we're marinaed in brunswick ga at hidden harbor marina....so glad to bump into your work...we're also vietnamers...pmedlin

So peaceful and relaxing to go without having to think about anything at all.

This poem nudges me into 'nothing really'..yet it opens everything..really!!!!


Blessings..
Vesna :)

Beautiful imagery you have painted here, Walt. Very calming, and peaceful words.

Walt,
There's so little peace of mind in the world anymore...if we can have it for an instant its not forgotten. I love this poem of contentment and peace.

Oh, how love those moments of which you speak - thinking of nothing, really! Wish I'd take more of the moments for myself. Maybe I will, really.

Thanks for sharing Walt...

Great! Nice photo! There was a place much like this one 20 minutes from my house in Ga. I'd swim there once in a while in the summer. Cheers

This is beautifully done Walt! It has a magical rhythm to it that lulls one into being there...

Love,
Eileen

Tranquillity at it's best.....yip peace of mind within the arms of nature....stunning write!!

The imagery is so real I have to shake my head to make sure i am not "THERE" right next to this stream!!

One of your most delicate and most defined pieces!!

Love Tinka

Walt, this is absolutely breath taking!
Loved your words and the imagery..
Peace, love, and light,

Amber "V"

I liked this the first time I read it, and I still do!

Water licking between the fingers like a thankful puppy dog for your scratching him back his ear...
Georg

Soooothing, i gotta nip out to the forest after reading this...

love the feel of peace in this write-such a luxury to just exist and not have to have any agenda

Soothing photograph as is this write. Wonderful....

Be safe,
Karen

amen...Lady J

This is a lovely haven for a woman who loves nature and is creative. She doesn't need to do a thing but take it all in.
Love,
Susan

Walt you did'nt need the picture, not that it's not very beautiful, but so is your poem and is says it so well, Jasmin Horst

Walt, super job. The simplicity and the emotional helped me relax from the business of my morning. For a few moments I was thinking of nothing really.

Larry

Have had that same feeling while sitting next to a babbling brook.

Thinking, Wondering, Dreaming, Wishing and Hoping of many things...really! Lovely write!
Dee

,,Just a moment in time,,,,nothing more, Nice one Walt.
Christine

Lovely poem, Walt; very nice! BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Well this write is certainly not nothing...nothing short of great. Loved it and the wandering chain of her thoughts.

Fee

You sure know how to set a mood. I love moments like that when you don't have to think/dream/wonder/wish/hope for anything. You just ARE. And that's enough to bring the peace.
Leo

Love this one. Your poem gives me an image of a beautiful young maiden sitting by the stream--and I added to the image--barefooted, long flowing hair, a diaphous skirt blowing in the breeze--her delicate hand sifting water from a clear blue stream.

Nice vivid images and this reader wanting to see the beauty of nature that fills her mind, but you've painted a beautiful picture for the reader to see. I enjoyed this.

Wow! and Excellent all wrapped into one great poem.

Thanks,
Dan

Cerebral & placid ~Ted

I enjoyed reading this so much. It's a beautiful poem.

This poem is about nothing really, but I love it just the same. --Charlie

Walt,

This is beautifully penned serenity. Well done.

((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
