ENJOY LIFE, SERENE, THE BEST

BY

Laura Lee Christian

A quiet day in the fall of the year
in the charming countryside
not a wind and not a sound
except for some birds above
the leaves are bringing their hidden colors
into the light of the sun
and a bird's nest I spy
that has finished its mission
with the birds having learned how to fly
I'll stroll along in the fallen leaves
as the others flutter above
they'll take a flight too to the waiting ground
and add to the carpet of love
a white church beyond
the green fenced pasture
and the fence in a white coat too
and the streams of sun gleaming off their sides
is a feeling of home and content
what a place to live, to be, to rest
and enjoy life, serene, the best.
