Nature

I was naked and you fully clothed me, And gave me warmth and comfort from your rain. Showed me a blue sky that covers the sea, And canyons that echoed through time's domain. When Earth shows red sunset from setting sun, I sit and dream of beauty I can't hold, Of crops rippling in the breeze to run, Giving chase to butterflies I behold. Tears fall each time a majestic oak falls, And its leaves scatter across your ground. In the quiet of night when a wolf calls, I give thanks for each quiet breath I've found. When a single bird glides high above I give thanks to this nature that I love 8/2/15 contest Nature Poems Only
