Picturesque Scrapbook
Trees in the foreground, taller in the background
Where a brook runs through
Sun’s rays captured the morning dew.
Whispering pines faintly speak, weeping willows slightly bow
Jack O’lanterns sway to and fro
White lilacs stir, low winds blow.
Meadows spread evenly aside, valleys lie just ahead
Stone walls extend side to side,
Purple strife borders, buttercups blossom wide.
Mountains tickle the skies, jagged cliffs protrude
Goldenrod’s scent abound,
Golden eagle circling, driftwood lying around
Fallen rocks gather moss, crevices divide
Rapids streaming downstream
Salmon leaping in between
Sundown’s glow weakens, tucks in nature’s day
Fox and fawns settling down
Shadows chase without a sound
Cricket’s sounds dissipate, cool air trickles by
Setting the stage for nature to sleep
Night moves in, day will keep.
The wilderness renders, nature has nurtured
Preserved for future perception
Memories are stored, forthcoming reflection.
