Musing About Nature

Went for a walk in the sunlight it had been raining 
for days and the grass between the olive trees was 
absurdly emerald and the aroma of virginal nature
 intoxicating.
I have to remember to take a camera with me when 
going out so much beauty around me 
I want to record and remember it having spent weeks 
in hospitals, the only beauty I saw were plain nurses
and a couple of female doctors with legs like 
Marlene Dietrich but they are human and can change 
manner, but they will never be virgins again.
Of course they, like me get older every year and do not 
rejuvenate every spring even though, we tend to let 
the mirror tells lies. Let that be for now I saw grey stone 
horses afar a sight  a camera cannot catch.
