As I sit amidst nature's land,
Surrounded by trees, flowers, and waters, 
And the mountains line the sky, 
I sense an atmosphere of tranquility. 
Time seems to have stopped, 
As the sunlight from the clear blue sky 
Shine upon me and touch my soul, 
And the fresh breeze brush against my face.

The colors of green, blue, red, and pink 
From nature's shrubs and bushes, 
The glistening water of the tranquil lake, 
Still my soul and mind into quiet time.
  I sit and ponder in peaceful thought. 
Absorbing the tranquil atmosphere around me, 
My mind free of worldly concerns, 
Enjoying peace and harmony with God and nature.
