Nature's Work of Art


Sun budges through sapphire sky and drifting clouds,
Melting away frozen snow-capped mountains.
Throughout forest heartbeat and trembling leaves,
Upon dappled nature's well-endowed breast.

The calm echo of the brisk waterfall
Cascading downward into a plunge pool.
A quenching path to the old yawning roots
And cold rocks dripping in soft wet green moss.

Foliage subdued in a bygone dream;
Slow ebbing away crystal stream raise edge.
Neath the shade of the top branches that weep.
Nature's flawless evolving work of art.

Wow this is truly work of art, your artistic mind and soul can be felt through the imagery you’ve painted in such eloquence. I am loving the descriptive wordplay here and how it flows too like a calm waterfall cascading mellifluously. Every line in this is beautiful and soul warming for me: pleasure reading this one: always enjoy your poems. Sending you light today and always
