Nature Walk

I walked across the dried grass
Where to , I did not know .
I took one step after the other
Just to see yonder brooks , to see its flow.

Some say nature can bring peace to your heart
Nature is life's healer and balm
For that I walked across the lawn
Just to hear its reply and feel its calm.

What is it that leapt away from my feet
a frog, an insect or a beatle ?
I stooped to see where that little fellow go
among the tall grass or among the wittle.

My saunter took me to a shady tree.
There I stood to see the flying birds at play .
The tree was the place I liked to be,away
from all the hustle and bustle of a hectic day.

So I trampled on uncaringly for the dead leaves.
They'd grow again perhaps next rainy days.
Nature gives me this hope and thrill
Again and again peace to your heart, it says .
