Grandeur of Nature

Upon glimpse of horizon when rainbow colors sprout A tiny fawn scurries, emerging from its stealth hideout Strolling beneath falling petals of crepe-myrtle flowers Glinting rays of ruby-sun through waning rain showers. Illuminating breezing prairies golden twilight thrills As eventide’s amber beams glimmer verdant hills Rustling green foothills in summer’s sparkling appeal Quivering shamrock leaves in evening’s tranquil zeal. Scintillating purple canvas sunset’s marigold hues vie Donning spirited crimson vibes on blazing orange sky While bluebirds twitter joy, as robins trill zesty reply Where sparrows hop, and fly, bidding the day goodbye. Tender dusk unfolds slowly, revealing mauve insights As gentle winds sigh, caressing stone color heights Where peeking moon enlightens face of dreamy night Mesmerizing smitten sights, sprinkling astral delight. Quietude reigns now, setting stage for celestial dance Hypnotizing doting visions, mesmerizing riveting stance Where constellations woo romance glinting Milky Way As nightingale’s song serenades joviality of blissful day.
