Nature's Gentle Voice
Wistful ferns, mossy stumps, crumbling
Rotting away, hesitating…
Beneath the shadows of old oaks,
Weathered gray coats, skin
Wrinkled and archaic, ancient
Wise as the liquid voice of creeks
Sighing and breathing out
Echoes of peace, serenity, grace
Praising with the stream of inspiration
Flowing, whispering over smooth stones
Colored in earthy browns, coffee
Auburn like the leaves in the autumn
Playful monarchs loiter near wildflowers
Soundless, still songs dancing
Waltzes of wonderful, wonderous, wonder
Motioning to the silence, gesturing
In rhythms of brilliant wings, graceful
Murmuring blessings across the green carpet
Heartfelt joy painting the thoughts
In laughter from the peaceful winds
Alive like the words of a bullfrog
As it croaks its way across the edge of a pond
Bringing life to the summer, grumbling
Appreciation into the sunlight’s bold fervor
Kindling passion from the spirit
Roaring with imagination, fulfillment
Moonlight softens the night
Sharing its home with the twinkling stars
As they shimmer through the sky
Sparkling like glitter, glistening and promising
Hesitating across the heavens, tossing
Rays of affection to the darkness
Ebbing and flowing with nocturnal blessings
Nature’s personality, wild, welcoming
Brings the soul a sweetness
That is only grown from genuine nurturing
Nourishment of sun and rain, dew
Softly kissing petals on the morning after
Moonlight turns to a lemony sun
Erasing the dark with a heavy hope
Anticipation of the moment when spring
Turns to summer – summer to autumn,
Autumn to winter and winter to spring…
Awaiting the moment when the new
Bursts quietly, calmly, through the past
To change everything to fresh, original
Alert and energetic – promise of the future!
Listen to the breathes of praise…
Lifted on the tongue of nature’s gentle voice!
