Le Voyage Magnifique

Smorgasbord

Every chance we get,
we indulge in
Mother Nature's smorgasbord
of sensory treats.

Wading in a cool babbling stream
in the early morning hours
along a scenic mountain trail,
where squirrels chatter
and robins sing,

or perhaps,
sunset walks down by the sea
with warm sand between our toes,
cavorting with the raucous gulls
and watching their aerial ballet.

Whenever trouble gets us down,
there is nothing like
Mother Nature's smorgasbord
to relieve the stress.
