Breathing in, breathing out

Nature's Well-Played Song

In the quiet of this current moment

& in the stillness of nature's well-played

Song, the swans are taking off —

Parting ways with the view, beloved

Waters making waves for an ever-

Needed goodbye, but there's always

An intent to return, no matter how far.

I am standing here, breathing in the

Beauty of all that's meant to soothe

A weary soul, the crisp wind is kissing

My cheeks & the sun peeks through

The clouds, coloring the edges of the

Earth, giving lots of hope & wonder

To me when other parts of life hurt.

Whenever we're at crossroads, feeling

Like something is sucking the will to

Live out of us, we'd just have to step

Outside, pick a wildflower or swim

In lakes, remembering what real

Joy is, being one with nature & the

Kind of silence that uplifts us. 

I never want to lose it — a connection

That should be cherished, mending

The brokenness in me, the lightness in

My feet & hands that want to create are

Saying that it's true, as swans glide

Back to their familiar places, the

Comfort of them, so can I.

A/N: Hi y'all! How are you doing???

So, I haven't been over Wattpad for a good while and I thought this one deserves its place here since I got inspiration from my recent road trip to the North side of Estonia. Nature always inspires me to write or gives me motivation to do so. The swans that I mentioned are the main part of it - they were so lovely! :))

Wishing a soul-soothing and heartwarming end to your February; if you happen to catch any type of inspiration from nature(or anywhere else), do not let it disappear, but rather create something with it, whether it's a poem, prose, or even a song. All is needed and more than you'd ever understand or know once you've shared it with the world. :))

With love,
