A veritable multitude of different shades of green,
Soothing and cooling my tired eyes and limbs.
Rich scents of earth, grass and air,
Assailing my senses until I am reeling.
Butterflies dancing together, flying upwards towards the sky.
Frogs spawning and splashing in the small pond,
As they do every year.
Finches nervously approaching as soon as I retire indoors.
The cheeky robins watching my every move without flinching.
Sparrows attack the feeder the minute it is filled.
Blue tits and coal tits flit in and out of the garden,
Taking just what they need.
Blackbird’s song serenading me, calming my jangled nerves.
The occasional sighting of the jay lifts my spirits immediately.
Soft rustling of the leaves overhead hypnotises my mind.
Wind whistling gently through the trees seems musical and mystical.
Feeling the cool grass between my toes is unbelievable!
Silent, but full of nature’s sounds abounding.
My oasis, my heaven, my eden, my idyll.
No other place can take it from my heart.
