Nature's Goddess Came To Greet

Nature's Goddess Came To Greet


I stood upon a new dawn
  When life was on the mend
And Spring burst in my heart 
  Nature's glory became my friend
Night stars and moon gave delight
  As if life commanded this show
Brilliant rays cast upon the trees
  A movie brightened dark the night


The forest spoke its worth
  Creatures danced in sweet time
A pulse livened the glowing scene
  Death and birth both sublime
Earth sent spirits to reveal
  Stardust lying, lightly all around
Sights and sounds marvelous to behold
  Mysteries slept in time surreal


Blast of knowledge entered in haste
  Trees spoke with renewed vigor
Nightbirds sang in softened tunes
  She appeared a glowing figure
Nature's goddess came to greet
  Lowly man now most  confused
A gift rarely ever given man
  Goddess showering presents at man's feet


Set deep in this majestic night dream
  Earth, Man and Nature eternally a team

Very good, Robert. This would be a good poem to use regular meter in, as you already have some lines that follow a pattern: "Nightbirds sang in softened tunes" and "Nature's goddess came to greet" and "Lowly man now most confused" for example.

Robert, I just happened to be up here in the wee hours of the morning here in Germany working away (just having posted a poem too myself), and I just happened to catch your most wonderful write here. This one is indeed a most enchanting rhymed write!! Therefore, it's a Happy New Year "Seven" for sure from me and it's going now in my 2015 FAV File of Greatest Poems!! Best Wishes to you and your family from Ingrid and me. Gary.
