Debbie, Very poetic descriptions of this natural settings. You clearly conveyed the inspiration that such a place can have. Nature can teach us to seek harmony and keep flowing toward our dreams. Very nice. Blessings, Hector

    Thank you. Writing this was a walk down memory lane since I can't really get to the wilderness anymore~Debbie

    You're welcome, Debbie. Poetry often comes from memories or flights of fancy inspired by many things. Blessings, Hector

wow, Debbie. I really needed to read this tonight. This was SO soothing and comforting. It gave me a sense of calm I haven't felt lately. Thank you so much for sharing this peaceful scene and the emotions it evoked in you. Beautifully descriptive and well written.
I hope you're doing well, tests results over, and treatment followed by healing is the next phase.

Just this:
It carries me to a place I feel I am one with nature,
(It carries me to a place where...)

This is beautiful and so true. I hope you actually got to go be by a stream. I too find that when I need to get centered and find real inner peace that sitting by a stream and listening to the water helps me find that inner peace.

    I used to do this. I haven't found a spot that is wheelchair accessible. I truly do miss it!!! Debbie

I felt like I could have been the person in the scene you described. You've created wonderful images with your descriptive words. I love the details you've included with "listening to the call of birds and hearing the rustle of leaves as a doe with her fawn pass by." When someone says 'I am one with nature,' you've captured what that means. Love your choice of artwork as it enhances your thoughts. xxxx deb

Vivid descriptions and feeligns of being outside in the natural world and the peace it brings us. This essay brings the reader to another place.

In reading your very well written short story, I was easily carried away to my teen years, in the country - as partly described in my novel, The Question.

What great and relaxing times they were - to be able to stand by a stream and enjoy nature's beauty. JW

I do like listening to the relaxing sounds of a flowing stream or gentle waves at the beach. You gave good imagery through your words to make one capture the moment too. All the best for the new year. Michelle

I think this would qualify as prose-poetry. Don't you, Debbie?
It is very lyrically descriptive by its phrasing['feel the breeze as the trees ever so gently move.' (as the trees move ever so gently is less poetic). You have done this through out the piece giving it a beautiful flow.] and I love the feel/emotion it evoked -- a quiet restful, meditative moment.

    I think it would be prose poetry too. I didn't think of that when I posted it. Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful review!!! Debbie
