A Lovely Day

The waterfall cascades, sun kissed
As a rainbow envelopes the waters mist
And salmon rise in harmonious dance
Glistening in unison to the shoals advance. 

The sun embraces the newest day
It’s warmth encapsulated in each and every ray
As the flowers respond to our stars embrace
So the bees can feast with appreciative grace.

Birds joyfully sing with a pride so pure
To be natures medicine of the woes we endure
As the fresh brisk breeze on a sun showered face
Is a reminder of our belonging in this time and space. 

A butterfly passes with kaleidoscope colour
Fluttering silently with a delicacy of splendour
As the hue of blue encircling our planet
Contrasts the green of lands own natural palette.

The sun descends with golden enrichment
As the curtain closes on a days fulfilment
In awe we look up to the heavens and pray
‘God deliver us tomorrow another lovely day’.
