Tim B Poet Rhyme

Nature's Uneasy Patrons

Beauty unseen at the waterfall's edge 
The danger below at waterfall's edge
The edge of the waterfall's descent
The cutting jagged rocks all she'll ever know
My darling climbs

Beautiful rhythm at the ocean's edge
The danger within at the ocean's edge
The edge of the ocean's expanse
The undertow's liquid flow all he'll ever know
My darling swims

Beautiful greenery at the forest's edge
The danger lurks shadowed at forest's edge
The edge of the forest's canopy 
The stinging pain of venom all they'll ever know
My darlings hike

My darlings wander these rivers and these shores
These forests, these mountains, just doing their chores
Warning the stranger of what lie ahead
And welcoming them all to the land of the dead
My darlings roam

Sara Kendrick November 19, 2011 at 12:51 PM Interesting work..If for a contest, good luck..I haven't looked at that contest..Reads like a winner..I am kind of lost though because I am not sure of the exact meaning...My vultures circling came from my viewing them one morn out on the porch..Sometimes though vultures circling are not vultures circling but what some people are doing..Thanks for stopping by..Sara Tim B January 18, 2012 at 5:41 PM Thanks for your kind comments Sara. This poem was referring to the spirits of those who died in nature, while being adventurous. The unseen dangers if you will.
