Nature's Treasures

Nature's Treasures She sees their crowns had impressively grown Taller than the obelisk now merely ancient stone Deepest green like emeralds set on her mystic ring Forever cognizant and nurtured by a life-giving spring A gentle presence caresses leaves fervently breathing Reaching toward heaven imbibing celestial blessing Over her heart a talisman deciphers cryptic rune Trees are endowments from beyond the moon Without trees and grasses fostered by a star... Planet Earth may inevitably mirror God of War! ***This is an expanded version of the previously posted poem Cognizant Gems, now with a different title, "Nature's Treasures"*** 10/25/2022 6:20 P.M.
