Grandeur of Nature

Upon glimpse of horizon when rainbow colors sprout
A tiny fawn scurries, emerging from its stealth hideout 
Strolling beneath falling petals of crepe-myrtle flowers
Glinting rays of ruby-sun through waning rain showers.

Illuminating breezing prairies golden twilight thrills
As eventide’s amber beams glimmer verdant hills
Rustling green foothills in summer’s sparkling appeal
Quivering shamrock leaves in evening’s tranquil zeal.

Scintillating purple canvas sunset’s marigold hues vie
Donning spirited crimson vibes on blazing orange sky
While bluebirds twitter joy, as robins trill zesty reply
Where sparrows hop, and fly, bidding the day goodbye.

Tender dusk unfolds slowly, revealing mauve insights
As gentle winds sigh, caressing stone color heights
Where peeking moon enlightens face of dreamy night
Mesmerizing smitten sights, sprinkling astral delight.

Quietude reigns now, setting stage for celestial dance
Hypnotizing doting visions, mesmerizing riveting stance
Where constellations woo romance glinting Milky Way
As nightingale’s song serenades joviality of blissful day.

This is a dazzling write Vijay almost equal to the grandeur of nature itself, almost because our imperfection limits our expressions describing divine beauty. However this is as close to perfection a human can write so it is a fave for me!
