This is where I come
to escape modern life’s humdrum
and forget all of my troubles for a while,
this is where I come
at those times when I feel glum
Mother Nature always greets me with a smile.
This is where I come
Herons fish
Woodpeckers drum
with the sound of birdsong tuneful in the air,
this is where I come
at one with nature I become
together this idyllic calm we share.
This is where I come
from all stress and strain struck numb
of this place I never shall be tired,
this is where I come
poetic words I’ve written some
by this beauty on my doorstep so inspired.
