Earth Shimmers, Life Explodes

Earth Shimmers, Life Explodes Calming clouds float into my dream fish flop happily onto my grill Ducks quacking loudly taking to wing Nature yawns and begins it's daily thrill Forest fights the coming mist night owls hourly call Flowers groan and silently twist woodpeckers hear it all Cool streams flow on wet earth bees gather for all they are worth Snakes slither into the weeds earth's beauty serves man's greater needs Night sky glows like a hot candle treasures, more than one man can handle Moon sheds it's glittering skin life explodes in the heart of men Earth shimmers dancing in perfect time poets sing rejoicing deeply in rhyme........... Robert L. 06-02--2014 Looking out our bay window at this glorious night. Wife enters, sweet kisses me good night. Inspiration suddenly strikes!!! A joy to be so very alive....

Thank you Faye. Always nice to be able to look out one's window or back porch to enjoy Nature's views! I often wish that I had a home very, very deep in the woods!
