Mesmerized Me
Vacation of Solitude
Nuances of greens,
Shapes of leaves
Sway of trees
Clouds descending with the sun.
A gentle chirping just begun.
I'm mesmerized as I memorize
The diamond dance of rippling light.
Birds that on the river alight,
And those remaining overhead in flight.
I'm mesmerized as I memorize
Mountains of trees,
Caress of breeze
The way He always cares for me.
I'm mesmerized as I memorize
Underwater agriculture, luminescent lime,
Product of sun's radiance plus a little time.
My eyes: they feast
My soul gets drunk.
My feet ... don't want ... to move
(I can not seem to move)
I'm mesmerized as I memorize ...
