A Charming Visit

The cool dry breezes of early morning,
that made my visit to this shaded spot so charming,
have slowed down in the sun's warm embrace.
Even the ever hovering dragon flies have slowed their pace.
My head is saying,"There is much work to do!"
but my spirit cries out "Sit and rest a few!"

The flowering bushes to butterflies are so enticing,
as they are to the bees and wasps that are forever lighting
on petals, so soft and sweet and tender.
It just seems wrong to go anywhere else on my agenda.

The wind chimes speak as the breeze lazily drifts by.
I'll be loathe to leave this place by and by.
But life moves on at its steady pace,
and it's with heavy sighs I must leave and join the race,
keeping these peaceful scenes in my mind's eye,
making them available to me if I but give it a try.
