Natural Beauty

Many a day has passed Since she entered my world And since then my mind has been clouded By the image of this girl If my mind were a garden She would be the perfect flower At the peak of its bloom In its most fertile hour If my mind were a hot Summer day She would be the cool breeze As it glides through the shade Of the tallest of oak trees If my mind were the Winter She would be the Christmas snow Covering flowers, trees, cars and houses So only white would show If my mind were the ocean She would be the sunset over the horizon Possibly the greatest natural beauty And finally, I’m realizing That it takes neither money nor possessions To reach the greatest happiness of the heart Because a woman as beautiful as nature Can touch a man and create such a spark “Natural Beauty” by: Eric L. Boddie
