The poetry of rural living: breathing in the quiet of a slower world - Slow living in the rural

Morning light through window pane Gentle touch on every chain Whispers of a quiet day Peaceful rhythms here to stay Coffee brewing scent so sweet Barefoot dance light on my feet Lazy cat purrs on the sill Echoes of a world so still Let the warmth embrace my soul In this calm I find my goal Breathing in the softest air In this moment I am there Clouds drift by with no concern Candles glow where fires burn Notes of jazz drift through the space Bringing calm to every place I see thoughts begin to melt In the comfort I have felt Paper pen and silent muse In the quiet I can choose Let the warmth embrace my soul In this calm I find my goal Breathing in the softest air In this moment I am there A warm embrace in the night's sweet glow Whispered secrets that only we know Stars above us dance in silent show Our hearts aligned in soft ebb and flow Golden light filters through the trees Morning dew clings to memories Softly singing birds in ease Painted skies bring us to our knees Feel the warmth in our intertwined Coffee cups and a piece divine Simple moments are purely fine In your eyes I find my shrine Lazy afternoons with gentle breeze Laughter echoing through the leaves Hand in hand we find our keys To the world we dream and seize Time stands still when you're near All my doubts start to clear Soft words whisper in my ear In your love there's no fear Feel the warmth in our intertwined Coffee cups and a piece divine Simple moments are purely fine In your eyes I find my shrine Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm Brushes my face like a guiding faith unseen Every gentle sway it makes Brings a direction never green Leaves drift along its path Seeking their own serene They never ask where it begins Nor what its whispers mean A promise in the wind Is the voice of being free It tells me not to fear The drifting on life's sea Each cooling gust holds hope Wrapped in its melody Just follow where it leads And find the heart's peace easily The wind slips through the streets Lifting fog from its haze It scatters every tear Turning them to distant rays Heavy my steps It flows in quiet grace Like an invisible poem Writing life's timeless embrace A promise in the wind Is the voice of being free It tells me not to fear The drifting on life's sea Each cooling gust holds hope Wrapped in its melody Just follow where it leads And find the heart's peace easily The wind may change its course Yet it never breaks its trust Where it rests becomes a canvas Painting unknown dusk If we can move like the wind Unafraid of all its forms Freedom becomes the answer Constant through the storms A promise in the wind Softly sings through life's way Carrying my dreams beyond To greet each fleeting day Wondering if thousands of miles away The sky's just as blue It's as if I'm stuck in yesterday When I'm thinking of you Cause when you have your morning coffee I'm turning out the lights so I could dream And when you smile through the screen I wish you could be with me So I lay my head to rest When the sun is rising I'll start a brand new day When the moon is shining I long to be with you In all the places you have been So today I am time traveling Oh today I am time traveling Every time that you are closing your eyes I will be beside you And my heart will glide across the miles To fly right to you Cause when I dive into the traffic The echo of your voice is all I hear I'm never tired of your laughing so far But ever so near So I lay my head to rest When the sun is rising I'll start a brand new day When the moon is shining I long to be with you In all the places you have been So today I am time traveling So I lay my head to rest When the sun is rising I'll start a brand new day When the moon is shining I long to be with you In all the places you have been So today I am time traveling Oh today I am time traveling Through whispering trees I sit so still My heart beats soft in a gentle thrill Clouds above are painting stories today In the hush of the earth my worries sway Gently the breeze it caresses my face Leaves dance around like they're in a grace Sunlight filters through in a golden hue In the quiet moment I just renew Oh serenity come find me here In a world so loud let me disappear Glistening waters echo our hum Feel the calm as we become one Raindrops tap a rhythm on the land Nature's lullaby like a soothing hand Birds softly singing their peaceful tune Cocooned in this calm under the moon In this mindful meadow my soul resides All my restless thoughts take gentle rides Embracing silence in its softest cloak Breathing love in every spoke Oh serenity come find me here In a world so loud let me disappear Glistening waters echo our hum Feel the calm as we become one In this mindful meadow my soul resides All my restless thoughts take gentle rides Embracing silence in its softest cloak Breathing love in every spoke Ocean waves they whisper soft Gentle breeze the air aloft Finding peace within my mind In this quiet space I'll find
