Where The....

Where the fox and the rabbit run free,
But struggle to find harmony

Where the horse and the pony run wild,
Where the badger and mole reside

Where the essence of nature
Can carress, gently your skin,
To form a wonderful glow
Radiating out, from within

Where the swallow and lark fill the sky,
And startle the mellow magpie

Where the deer stand relaxed in the shade,
By the trees at edge of the glade

Where the warmth
Of a day, such as this,
Lifts your soul
Like a soft tender kiss

Where the oak grows so strong and so high,
Where the willow leans forward to cry

Where the bluebells rejoice in the sun,
Where the butterflies dance, just for fun

Where I cherish
Each moment with you,
Beneath a sky
Of the very deepest blue

A beautifully gentle piece of poetry Dave,
I can see why living where you do, appeals to you so very much.

Gotta love the outdoors. This poem has a Whitman feel, and I dug it.

This one makes me

want to visit such a beautiful place, but I would be afraid I would never want to leave. Once again, a beautiful peace Dave!

Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself.

Thank You

Elizabeth, I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm sure there must be some pretty beautiful places near to you, you probably have better weather too!
Thanks for the read and comment,
Dave

Not sure about the weather

it al depends on where you live. We do have some pretty places here, but unforuntanly they are riddled with some very ugly people and I am not talking about the way they look. I take it from your replies that you don't do the city very well, I on the other hand could not survive without at least going to Atlanta once every couple of months. My dream is to visit New York.....LOL. And England and Italy and................
