Silent Senses

Standing silently outside
I saw

Bees floating 
Flower to flower

Standing silently outside
I felt

Warm sun bare arms
Cool breeze ruffling my hair

Standing silently outside
I tasted

Slender beans
Tucked in leafy shadows

Standing silently outside
I heard

Gulls crying
From the rooftops

Standing silently outside
I smelled

Tall grasses drying
In the lengthening summer air.

Standing silently outside
My heart softened and grew strong.

“…and then I have nature and art and poetry, 
and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
~ Vincent Willem van Gogh

Lovely vision of you standing silently outside soaking up nature.
