A Local Park i Walked
A local park i walked
Just the other day
Surrounded by nature
In the snow kids played
I felt a feeling of joy
In this incredible grounds
This park of beauty
In a modern concrete surround
Nature in standing
In her winter stage
All the beautiful plants
Withstanding her rage
She mellows with time
As the spring appears
The winter snows melt
Is it her sorrowful tears
The buds appear
Enriched with her sun
Her vistas of bloom
Have just begun
But around the corner
Another season awaits
The golden browns of autumn
Await their fate
In the local park i walked
Just the other day
Thinking of the marvels she brings
To us, every single day
Spring has Sprung
Spring has arrived, her cycle of life beckons
As she thrills us with greened anew
Buds grace the light as if blinking in the sun
Bulbs of many play peekaboo through the softening soils
As days grow into weeks, vistas explode all around
Colours aplenty bloom into a plumage of petals
Choruses of birds chirp, igniting patterns of lure
As pending partners charm and delight as unions are discovered
Natures carnival of blossoms and greens highlight her art
Whilst gentle breezes caress them as they drift down and carpet
Hours and evenings stretch allowing rays of warmth to radiate
Fruiting plants start on their journey of harvesting joys
Summer knocks on Springs door declaring seasonal appearance
As we look around and applaud, ripening is natures show of hands
Summer turns Autumn
Summer turns Autumn
Delightful canopying
Trees of golden gowns
As the Seasons Turn
Autumn winds allure the awaiting
Spiraling ochres, have given
Orange Horizon
Orange horizon
Ripens, as waves graciously
Caress, shores of life
Blues, so Hue
Cobalt meets cobalt
In the midst of many blues
Oceans meet our sky
The Fading Blue Rose
This flower of beauty
By the wind cast down
To a stream it lands
In eventual drown
Its reflection on the water
Caught in ripples of life
Its as if the ripples are draining
To leave it in strife
On the surface it lingers
As if to hold on
Eventually the waters will consume
Its life withdrawn
For as it sinks
To its eventual lie
It leads to new life
So therefor it never dies
Wild and Free
Wild and free
Amid waters of blue
Amongst lush green grasses
This equine shines through
Pale blue skies
Snows among the firs
Nature at her best
Makes you want to purr
Beautiful sights surround us
On our earthly lands
This horse so wild and free
Just as nature planned
Our generations of tomorrow
Have the right to see
What my eyes behold
That i see in front of me
Rain
The Tranquil sound of the falling rain
As it pitter patters, against our window panes
In any season the rains will call
Cloudburst or monsoon we welcome its fall
Deserts so thirsty, look forward to the day
Of natures welcomed rainfall, to re-awaken her display
With the rains comes tragedy, life and despair
Without the fluid of anew, we would be in barren stare
So the next time you look out and view, and say its raining again
As it lashes against your window, its just natures champagne
Catha edulis
This flowering plant
Releases stimulants when
Chewed, its called Khat
Nepenthes rajah
Pitcher plant species
Insectivorous so rare
Now so endangered
Varanus komodoensis
Worlds largest lizard
They are island gigantism
Komodo Dragon
Wings for Tomorrow
Canadian geese ~..~
Above prairie grasses they ~..~
Start their migration ~..~
Orange over Blue
The cobalt waters
Lap natures shores
Under a horizon of orange
In scenery adore
Distant clouds
In horizon fill
Above me sky diamonds
Look down at will
Gentle waves
Disappear as the night sleeps
But their sounds resonate
Soon the horizon will creep
Its midnight
As i walk on the sands
Remembering the orange and blue
And its horizon expand
Canopy Sky Walk
The rain forest mists
Drift in their time
Leaving moisture so pure
On nature sublime
In collective gather
On the canopies of green
As i walk through these mists
All around me scene
I stand there and listen
To natures sounds
Howlers and Toucans
In communication abound
My hands brush a leaf
And there's a scurry of legs
Like neighbourhood chaos
In books i have read
I close my eyes for a moment
A brief in my time
But when nightfall beckons
This is their prime
Through the rain forest mists
I am privileged to see
These wondrous creatures
No pressure, so free
In Natures Surround
Her innocent looks
Up at the canopies of green
In awe of nature
Beside a trickling running stream
Blossoms of pink
Against a background of ripe
Nature in her glory
So serene and right
This beautiful girl
In her radiant white dress
Life is all around
Greened growth in progress
Insects buzz
Amongst the chirping of birds
Sounds to be treasured
A delight she has heard
As she walks of home
She forever looks around
Looking back where she's been
In natures surround
Grains of Gold
Beach
Golden sands
Rolling blues with white crests
So beautiful, like paradise
Gorgeous
