Magic of Nature

Within seconds the blood reaches my head.
I yell and scream through blind fury.
My head heats up, feel the frustration building.
I want to break something, scream for all I’m worth.
But I know I can’t.
I must have control, simmer my steam.
So I stomp outside, to my one safe haven.
The grass is my bed of relief.
The wind cools my blood, and the creek dissolves my frustration.
The distant cars, the faint noise of construction,
and the quiet rustle of trees;
it soothes me, and I relax.
Slowly I cool off, feeling lightheaded from my anger.
But I know that I will never lose my haven.
My stronghold will never vanish.
The smile comes to me.
I can talk to others.
My head is clear.
Nature has its magic.

    :) Oh girl! I SO know where you're coming from on this one! It perfectly describes what I do sometimes, only my safe haven is on the rocks by the lake and the tides are what calms me and returns the smile to my face. :) Getting back to basics just seems to heal the soul, doesn't it? :) I really liked and could easily relate to this poem.

    Babygirl you are so right on the point! Right now, nature is about the only thing that I find to be a safe haven. Healing the soul is such a slow process, but what other choice do we have?.... none that are good.

    I enjoyed this one. I too really enjoy nature. It does have a calming effect when you are angry. It's easier to let it go.

    somethings aren't east to let go of,... a bad relationship,... well they fade and sometimes resurface to cause ya some nostalgic pain, tears...etc,... but there are things in this life that can't be let go of... things that will live on inside you and everyday you must deal...
