I look upon this lovely scene, reflections mirrored in the stream
A sanctuary of calm delight where all is safe; peaceful and bright.
I yearn to lay upon the hill with arms outstretched and stay real still,
To fix my gaze upon the sky and watch the white clouds pass me by.
I'd drift into a perfect dream as I surround myself in green,
With eyes now closed and for a while let tranquil beauty me bequile.
No thoughts disturb my peaceful time this new found freedom now be mine
My cares and worries drift away my soul's replenished as I lay.
My body with the earth as one, a new beginning has begun
I'll cast aside my outer shell and build my inner strength as well.
Just like a butterfly I'll change, a metamorphic re-arrange
The rebirth of myself I will, emerge renewed to feel the thrill.
Arise refreshed and with a smile; I'd sit and ponder for a while
About this place that I have found it's solitude without a sound.
No greater gift I could not find as captured memory in my mind
A glimpse of heaven I have seen, while lying on the hill of green.
