A Peaceful Par Four
As I drive the golf car onto the course
I begin to feel one with my surroundings
birds singing all around me
as I look at the lush green fairway
I step off the cart
and feel the damp grass beneath my feet
as the cool breeze presses against my face
I step into the tee box
and set up for my first drive
feeling calm with nature surrounding me
I begin my swing
and the ball connects with the driver
as it begins to whistle through the air
like wind before a storm
it soars perfectly between the oak trees lining the fairway
I hear a soft pat
as the ball lands on the squishy, damp grass
around the fall leaves carpeting the ground
just right of the fairway
I find the ball and line up for my second stroke
a soft swing back and forth
as the iron cuts the blades of grass like a knife
the ball gracefully floats through the air like a bumblebee
as it descends it lands gently on the green
And rolls right into the hole
