Beauty all around As I amble through the meadow The breeze of daybreak, oh so inviting Whispering unfathomable secrets Into my ears. The mist yonder suspends In the air. A thing of wonder, a light Passing through a prism This meadow, akin to a forsaken garden Punctuated with colorful weeds Sunflowers and dandelions glow as bright As fireflies; smiling and blowing kisses In unison with the morning sun Autumn woods dazzle with color Blades of grass bending in the breeze Ripples on a stream, and they dance With devil-may-care abandon. As carefree As aspen leaves moving in the slightest wind This meadow, alive with creatures of nature. Somewhere... A grasshopper is leaping to and fro A butterfly is fluttering every which way A hummingbird is hovering over a bloomed flower A bumblebee is bothering a daisy Birds perched in trees sing Nature's love songs. A nightingale... drips honey into my ears! Fallen leaves sigh Birds seize the turquoise blue morning sky Could this be nature at it's best? Beauty all around As I amble through the meadow
