Walking In Nature

A poem about the calming benefits of walking in Nature

Walking in Nature - Photograph by Sue Cartwright, Spiral Leaf


Stepping out in nature, something happens to me;

Merging into a beautiful world, set free;

Tensions simply melt and float away;

And my mind can wander, wonder and be.


The more I walk the more delights I see;

The trees, the leaves, the flowers, the birds, the bees;

A place where harmony exists in perfect grace;

A sanctuary for heart and soul, a sacred place.


Where you can feel the air, the wind, the breeze;

Connect to the earth, the rocks, the plants and trees;

Listening to the wildlife, birds and river springs;

Giving praise to the wonders Mother Nature brings.


Nowhere brings such happiness inside;

The calm, the buzz of life, the beauty is a balm;

The gift of wild with birds on feathered wings;

Nature is the source of life for every living thing.
