Not just the sky itself—they are every ocean and stream— filled with reflections of rainbows, waterfalls and rain. Windows of beauty fringed in verdant shades of green. Not a trace of sadness shows for things that cause her pain. Her eyes, serenely soft, are sacred, mystic jewels. Forever and beyond they always will remain. Content within her powers of evergreen renewal, her eyes reflect and sparkle with all of nature’s hues. Wisdom of aeons — their provident accrual. Her eyes —a wellspring of every artist’s muse— like a mother giving from her immeasurable heart. All this she imparts—yet we never pay the dues. These eyes, so beautiful, her children fill with hurt. Beware—her precious gaze—some day she will avert.

Beautiful sentiments for mother earth and nature, well-conveyed in poetic lines. I strongly relate to the subject matter on which I have penned a few poems.

Hello Suzanne … wonderful. Mother Nature will allow so much but then she will destroy and rebuild. Her patience is something humanity to learn from - thank you Suzanne - Lindsay

This is beautiful, and the topic is one that we need to keep harping on. Nature is certainly very patient, but there will come a time when she'll say 'enough is enough'! ~ Hope you are keeping well my friend. Best regards // paul
