With Nature My Life Stays In Tune

With Nature My Life Stays In Tune ( "Sonnetina Rispetto" ) With Nature my life stays in tune Be it day or clear night's bright moon On this, my heart holds true and fast With clear sunshine in month of June Pains in life my soul seeks to prune Cuts for the good, thus meant to last With Nature my life stays in tune Be it day or clear night's bright moon Greatness in this, Nature's sweet song Words my heart holds, praying along On this, my heart holds true and fast Cuts for the good, thus meant to last With Nature my life stays in tune Be it day or clear night's bright moon Robert J.

Magnificent flow, phrasing and imagery! '...be it day or clear night's bright moon' along with other repetitions this one sticks out as the most effective to me. Well done Robert! Best wishes, Keith
