Sharing In Natures Beauty

Sharing in Nature’s Beauty Golden soft was the light that swiftly flew, as whistling rain pelted majestic oaks and the soaked birds began to cry for you as Nature silently wrapped up its cloaks thirsty for coming dawn, so bold and new. Late through the night the wind went by in haste till drained of strength it gave a final sigh. The clouds dispersed and slowly sailed away. Upon the land the moonlight fell from high as rolling waves sought shelter in the bay. The silver maples fluttered in the wind, where the fast sleeping rabbits hid away all beautiful, we wished to never end with brightened colours, every joyful day as Nature's beauty flowed out to transcend. The sun crept up in drapes of crimson red And creatures looked, enchanted by the view. It was serene, and fragrance filled the air; across the sky the playful seagulls flew.... A morning gift bestowed for free to share. --------------------------------------------------- Robert Lindley & Paul Callus ~ 30th Nov 2015 [alternated stanzas]

Thank you Gary; your comments are appreciated! Robert wrote 2 stanzas, and then I did the same, but after some thought we agreed to alternate the stanzas, and this is the final result. ~ All the best. // paul

IT IS I THAT MUST THANK YOU MY FRIEND... The interweaving idea came from your most creative mind! And I saw how brilliant it was. Lucky me to have found so many great co-writers this week. Third offer will be presented later tonight or else tomorrow night. These 18 hours days are killing me my friend. This old age thing is not all that its been cracked up to be. lol
