The Splendor of Nature

The stream murmurs as it slithers in vale 
through the draping emerald forest opulent,
splashes on the wavy contours of lowland, 
in cataracts it gurgles like flutter of swan flock.

It meanders on the jagged swathe clad in ferns, 
sprinkles with exuberance the splattering pearls. 
It hums in the drizzle of slant silent rain, 
and glides through the  echo of whistle of wind. 

Flying over crystal waters of the bubbly flow,
the returning robins chirp the springtime song.
As in garden path fallen leaves crunch and rustle,
graceful butterflies flitter around the flowers.

The sparkling night sky above silhouetted forest canopy,
wears the bejeweled crown of the twinkling stars,
silver tinsels trickle through moonbeam flicker, 
I am charmed in a trance by the splendor of nature.
