Very wise advice expressed here in this cinquain. Taking some time to take a breath will soothe our heart , mind and soul. And allow us to take in the beauty that surrounds us, in spite of the stress and chaos. Thank you for the reminder.

I read something once that said take 10 deep breaths at least once an hour. I started doing that. Then incorporated closing my eyes. I do it a lot now. It's amazing how calming it is. But your poem is the perfect recipe. To draw in the sounds and smells of nature is like a detox for the soul. Beautifully written. Gretchen

Your poem sums up how I feel about time spent in nature's soothing presence, so your words resonated with me. Time slips away amidst peaceful beauty. The photo choice is very suitable.

Hello LisaMay, Thank you!
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Beautiful. I enjoy these short ones when they say a lot more than some very long pieces. And you my friend have mastered that task. That is the one time that I can breathe easy when out in that kind of nature's beauty. Thank you for this lovely read!

When the soul and nature are on the same level, harmony occurs. The Earth knows her children. Those who harm the Earth, showing a general lack of concern for it, are not favored children of the Earth. They are by their lack of sensitivity, alien creatures.

I do not post a lot, mainly because I use earned member dollars from reviewing and sadly, not all members promote their work. If what you post is only worth 2 cents, why even post.

Hello JLR, excellent Cinquain. I could see why this was a contest winner. Good descriptive, writing, and sensory appeal.
I especially liked:
Mother
Nature's
Majesty
soothes souls
(good alliteration)
A pleasure to read.
Keep the blue water is flowing. LB

Comment from Jasmine Girl
What a beautiful poem for the magical mother nature. I can concur because every time I go outside, I feel happy. That's why I go outside twice per day to bath in the mother nature's fresh air. That's the secret of my happiness.
Well done.
