Woodland peacefulness

Peacefulness, calmness, there is nothing raging around,
Quietness within the woodland all around you, is found.
The busyness of your life can no longer be heard,
So nature steps in, bringing the singing of a bird.
A whisper comes traveling upon the passing breeze,
From the gently swaying of the branches in the trees.

Within this peaceful moment you have found in this day,
Let nature take all those stresses of your life away.
Let nature do all the work as it passes you by,
Whilst you watch it pushing the clouds across the sky.
Whilst you watch the rivers, their busy waters flowing,
See the riverbanks where the wildflowers are growing.

Nature will keep on working when you need time to rest,
Just let it wander on by, for it knows what is best.
Enjoy this moment, let go of life’s expectations.
Enjoy this moment, accept natures inspirations.
Walking through the woodland, take the peacefulness you find,
Keep it safe within when you leave the woodland behind.
