Nature's Silence

Long-time sorrow, continually drips into my heart, overflowing it with saddened thoughts of yesterday. Searching always for tears of joy to counteract grief which piles high inside. Thinking of younger days when nothing could turn me away from nature and it's joy, daily walking around our seventy-five acres, finding happiness and peace in everything. Waltzing throughout childhood, curiosity in hand, learning about peace and serenity from nature's beautiful silence. Predictable environment, never changing, keeping interior solitude in place with changing colors of leaves in every season. Falling snow filling earth with it's white brilliance, springtime blooming everything in color, opening buds with warmth and sun. Summer heat hotly blowing it's breath on everyone, toasting their hearts and warming their hands. All of these images coated in sorrow, because I can only see them in my mind, touch them with my heart, but never live them again.
