"Beside the Stream"

(Composed in the quiet afternoon
of October 22, 2008.)

The bubbling brook
Whispering breeze
Chirping birds
Dancing leaves.

Calmly the water flows.
Gentle ripples form
A mosaic of teal and azure
Brushing the tranquil stream.

Sitting in the shade,
I gaze around
Embracing the quiet melody.
The chaos of the city traffic
Hushed by the patter of water 'pon stone.

Time seems to stand still,
Save the natural rhythm of the day.
Just sunlight or moonlight,
Cares simply float away.

The beauty of simplicity
No stress or worries near,
Only quiet moments tucked away
Sweet memories so dear.
