Notes About The Poem

I have long had a special affinity with Nature and her daily miracles.

Nature

Nature is so fantastic as she produces
gems that delight ones very soul.
She works hard behind the scenes
quietly repairing the damage we do.

I take pleasure in small little things
like butterflies flitting around flowers.
Stirring leaves to see a host of insects
that quickly scurry back into hiding.

The gorgeous colours on her palette
that tease and seduce the senses.
The stately magnificent of trees
that gently shade tender  shoots.

Soaring mountains that enchant
with their sense of mystery.
Oceans that teem with life
the majesty of whales leaping.

There is so much to beguile
so many new things springing
to life, that tempt a weary soul
and put back a sense of purpose.

Nature is so very special
as she tends to the seasons.
Filling us with joy of life
and making our world special.

Well stated! It's a pity not all of us feel this way... Quite horrific what we do. /|\

How very true, Shadow. One does have to stop and "Smell the roses" now and again when travelling through life and along her weary byways. My very best regards, Shadow! :) john
