Nature's Beauty On Display

Tonight the golden glow of stars and the crescent moon's silver light are far more beautiful than mankind has the right to behold. The Creator, with loving kindness, illuminates the darkness of the night sky with celestial brilliance. flickering colors aurora borealis dancing northern lights Nature's palette paints pastel hues of peach each dawn, and lavender veils in the sky at dusk. Our eyes are awed by Autumn's gifts as leaves wear coats of many colors. Scarlet, cinnamon, russet, and all shades in between, tumble from branches onto the ground. glimmering sunrise dimming light in twilight skies leaves in Autumn's breeze Fields of heather and blue bonnets in bloom give off their scents of sweet perfume. A redwood tree soaring high, is the perfect place for an eagle's nest. These visions I behold and thank God for giving mankind such an array of wondrous things. waterfalls cascade love songs of a meadowlark nature on display It's all kept in check with a balance at His command. Tides ebb and flow, dew quenches the thirst of flora and fauna, the sun spreads its warmth over the land, and a deluge quells deserts and plains after a drought. waves crash on the beach cactus blooms in desert sands harmony in life August 23, 2020 Let the Pens Flow - Haibun Contest Sponsored by: Jenish Somadas
