This September Morning

I listen to the sounds 

of this September morning.

The soft rustling of leaves

in cool breezes

transforms each branch

into wind chimes.

All around me is green,

vibrant life,

vivid verdant,

in layer upon layer upon layer

as my gaze travels down the street.

And the rustling begins anew.

Soft percussive notes, 

rising and falling

forming a sea of sound

in waves that could carry me away. 

Let me float on the crests

and ride the valleys.

As I lie back

let my eyes take in the sky

filling me with wonder

in the vastness

of this perspective.

Let me rest

in vastness

in peace.

Do you feel the peace?
