(i)
The stream flowed on its course
as I lost my way
in the vale of despair
I followed it and found myself
shimmering in its ripples.
(ii)
I found peace under the trees
when the leaves were silent
and when they whispered tales
I was the most intent listener
I had so much to say
but I forgot everything
under the trees.
(iii)
I like my feet on dewy grass
that has drunk deep of night
slowly waking to the sun
till my feet no longer feel
the pain of the night.
(iv)
The river likes it
when my grief swims in it
It can empathize with me
without changing its route
we both love the sea.
(v)
The stars are bright
I'm happy, their eyes reach
beyond my skin
I feel their light
making a home in me.

Lovely. I like them all but especially the first. I like that you grouped them this way as they have a common theme of finding comfort and reassurance in nature. A 10
