Layers

The gray overcast sky predicts Rain to layer the damp Cool will become colder wet air Trapped inside, lifestyle cramped It is worse for blossoms turned brown Their spring beauty cut short Soon to join spent blooms 'pon the ground Cold their life did thwart The bullfrog croaking in the pool Not hindered by cold air Is he calling his love to come See his fair lair There is a stillness this morning A quiet 'pon the air All the birds softly sing their song Yet stillness says beware

You live in rural area so you see more of nature than I do. However in city parks one can see Mother Nature's Gifts as they unfold. Keep it up! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
