Peaceful Retreat

Sun shining through the Poinciana tree,
Painting drops of light on the ground.
My heart expands with the beauty I see,
The Poinciana flowers coloring the lawn.

The warm breeze of a late summer afternoon
Caresses my face and softens its lines.
There’s a bee zooming on a rose bloom,
The laws of gravity she careless defies.

The little lizards walk around, daring,
Eating ants nervously and other little things.
Unaware they are of the hawk staring,
And one it quickly grabs while flying.

The beat of my heart has slowed down,
The bee collected the nectar so sweet.
Nature once again has come around,
Giving me a peaceful retreat…
