A Glimpse of Heaven
The light was fading,
Casting shadows all around
Shadows forming pictures
Upon the walls
And on the ground
Objects seem to appear
From somewhere out of space
When daybreaks
These objects take on a different face
A breeze is gently blowing
Making autumn leaves dance
Floating effortlessly
As their magnificent colours
Putting the onlooker in a trance.
Nature is always giving,
With every season it brings
Sometimes unforgiving
It can have a nasty sting.
From the fluttery of wings
And the brilliance of the sky
Nature makes life worth living.
Who could ask for more
A glimpse of heaven on earth
I know that for sure
