David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Ode

You Are Nature---I Love You

There are traces of the sun
In your smile
Sparkle of the stars
In your eyes

Intriguing hint 
Of foxy guile
That makes me pause
And realize

That your tears are like 
Springtime rain
Walnut brown eyes wide
As Montana skies

Your breath the zephyr
Of the mountain pass 
Breast a nest for hummingbirds
And cold Heart rimmed with ice

Attitude both bad and good
As changeable as the weather
Hale and hard as hickory wood
And hardy as the heather

 If all the heavens beauty could be
Conjoined in one solid mass
Twould be as hard as flint could be
Yet both soft as meadow grass

…You are Nature…
I love you
