Nature's Treasures

Nature's Treasures


                      She sees their crowns had impressively grown
                      Taller than the obelisk now merely ancient stone
                      Deepest green like emeralds set on her mystic ring
                      Forever cognizant and nurtured by a life-giving spring

                      A gentle presence caresses leaves fervently breathing
                      Reaching toward heaven imbibing celestial blessing
                      Over her heart a talisman deciphers cryptic rune
                      Trees are endowments from beyond the moon
                     
                       Without trees and grasses fostered by a star...
                       Planet Earth may inevitably mirror God of War!
