Beautiful Scenes Divinely Born, One of Three

*************
Beautiful Scenes And Treasures Divinely Born

Downward ...
	Soft specks falling,
Like echoes frozen white
Whispers sent from December skies
Downward.

(The Ancient Tree )..
Thereinto awe its magnificent trunk
sinking its teeth into soft virgin ground
earth paying no heed as each deeper sunk
as to its firm teether, the tree was bound.

Above grown reaching for bright sky and sun
umbrella limbs hanging massive and long
biggest was giant arms weighing a ton
handy stages for songbirds and sweeter song.

Morning sun's rays glistening eager leaves
as the dancing breeze moved them too and fro
beauty that stirs mankind to God believe
divine hands painted Nature's sweeping show.

Ancient tree in hidden forest gleaming
With beauty sublime and clear brooks streaming.

Winter  ...
   Ground creamy white,
Trees, moaning pallid skies
Children thanking Christmas break and
Winter.
