In nature there’s a wondrous charm
With simple little things
No politics or business goals
Or cheap expensive rings
Such softness reigns throughout its realm
Caressing all that’s there
The flowers, trees, the breeze and sun
Aromas in the air
No clanging bells or whistles scream
No sounds of traffic here
No mandates by the madding crowd
Those things all disappear
The warmth one feels in nature’s world
Defies the words I know
So simple yet so hard to say
A deeper inner flow
It touches every sensual site
Surpassing all we’ve felt
And overwhelmed with such input
Our other passions melt
Now hugs are things we all enjoy
No words need ‘er be said
And softness comes from deep within
Its meaning goes unsaid
The greatest love that I could share
As soul strings feel those tugs
In all your softest places love
A thousand hidden hugs
