Creation

** Image ID #1636617 Unavailable **

To relieve myself of life's tension,
Anxiety wracking my nerves,
I go out to relish the beauty
Of Nature and gear up action.

I scurry without hesitation
Skating, skiing down the steep curves,
Enjoying my relaxed mind truly,
And heading toward my mission.

Mesmerized by Nature's attraction,
I glide down the snow, bends and swerves,
Inhaling the crisp, fresh air amply,
Causing my real satisfaction.

I forget my pain in my motion,
An applause it surely deserves.
I am glad, being sated fully.
I thank God for his creation.

To relieve myself of life's tension,
Anxiety wracking my nerves,
I go out to relish the beauty
Of Nature and gear up action.
