Feeling Young

Posted on May 8, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

Landscape embraces warmth

Whispering from above

Fabric of spring descends

Sharing Creator’s love

Winter’s cold fades away

Transforming earth’s outlook

Tender grass comes alive

Following spring’s guidebook

Memories feeling young

Uncovering cherished prize

Charm awakens with peace

Filling morning’s blue skies

Today meets tomorrow

Nurturing every thirst

Breath of hope replenished

Witnessing rain’s cloudburst

Spring’s timely arrival

Beholding each snapshot

Precious life now reborn

Finding nature’s soft spot

Tranquility’s Home Base

Excited for weekend

Highway’s invitation

Stopping in Laurelville

Morning’s breakfast station

Greeted by big blue sky

Hocking Hills calling out

Tasting landscape’s beauty

Daffodils set to sprout

Battered red pick-up truck

Pair of windows rolled down

Offering scent of spring

Backroads leading from town

Coffee Emporium

Partnered with sweetest treats

Gathering up goodness

Harmony’s faithful beat

Old Man’s Cave reigns ahead

Tranquility’s home base

Sharing nature’s spirit

Creator’s blessed place

Surprise

Landscape glistens white

Winter gift-wrapped for one day—

Melting tomorrow

Melodramatic

Calendar page turns

Blistering heat dome moves in—

Spring’s ironic script

Summoned

Thunderstorm descends

Torrential raindrops blossom—

Floodgates spring to close

From the words of American naturalist, writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau: “Nature is but another name for health, and the seasons are but different states of health.”
