Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Nature's Gentleness

"May I sleep under your emerald-umber arms in serenity of your cover." quote _by Poet
                       
                        Titillating gently does the breeze move
            Through pink cherry blossoms, brought fragrance Spring's best
Pastel weeds lull and swept away, rise, mingle, and bend,
Flourish and grow beauties, and an expression often quite profound

                        The pensive wandering clear river flows
surrounded by a throng of admirable melodic trees and underbrush
Creating an aura of love, even the hardest of rocks

      White herons fly through and nest on the river’s shoulders
            A peace and sleep will come to yield
                        Beavers gnawing through vegetation building dams

As the night starts to creep up with stealthy footsteps
            Concealing the   tiredness of the anxious waiting light blue sky
      Graying clouds nudge the crescent moon
                        Light streams though darken shadows of the trees
