A Feeling To Remember

I walked across the pasture green In search of something yet unseen And as I reached the hill's crest What I saw below I felt truly blest. I very carefully made my way down Toward the little grove of trees I'd found Anxious to see what they did hide I gently pushed the brush aside. The atmosphere did suddenly change The green canopy kept the heat away As And the coolness settled round I heard the birds chirping sound. A movement to my right caused fear Not quite sure of what was near Until his antlers I did see And realized he wasn't sure of me. As I gazed into his eyes I thought I heard him breathe a sigh And as I smiled and stepped past It seemed to put his mind at rest. In shafts of light scattered here and there Wild flowers could be found Dancing on the gentle breeze Spreading pollen all around. I sat beside a flowing river In grass of carpet green Soon the little lady bugs Were resting on my jeans. A hefty branch protruded From the river's edge And as I watched ten little turtles Found themselves a place to rest. As they basked in the sun They seemed so at peace Until a pesky magpie Dive bombed them from a tree. As I watched natures wonders I heard a shrill scream. Suddenly I realized I am all alone I reached into my pocket And took out my cell phone.
