EARTHS BEAUTY...

I long to walk
a mossy glade..
To rest beneath
the Redwood shade ..

To hike a mountain
path alone..
To hear the wind,
it's lonely song..

To smell the
salty air at dawn..
The beach,
the tide,
the morning sun..

To venture far
to see this land..
It's fields, it's hills,
the drifting sand..

The forest green,
the arid  plain...
I want to see
and start again..

Across an ocean
I'd travel far..
To look upon a
distant star..

To view the
wonders of this
earth we live..
To seek the
mysteries it
generously gives..

To wander lost
to get lost again..
The perilous
journey without
an end..
