A Nugget a Day - Outside

Outside

The cherry blossoms are falling

from the trees to the ground.

Soft petals are coloring,

pink on top of brown

soft on top of hard.

Cherry scented winds are blown

across the rivers and the parks.

The outside is fearful now,

but it’s still my favorite place to go.

Wherever nature is growing,

there is beauty,

there is peace,

there is stillness that heals.

All the things I yearn to be.
