Nature

Sublime inches of

Core resonate between

Acres of hollow trees

Shifting in the morning

Air fresh to the sun

Intact incense of being

Twilight hours of rest

Sleepy dreamers awaken

Towards stepping-stones

Of rhyming mountains

Running creeks, rippling ponds

Across time and mind-bending

Tracts of forest light and

Shady wind scurries to

The northern song of life

Forward you step across

Hoping against reasonable hope

Nighttime fogs the air

Listening to the sound of

Clear bluebells and foxglove

Shadows of old gone

Pear trees in the sun

Ripe boughs, clinging vines

Of orange-blossom together

Stretching towards daybreak

Fossils and remnants of truth

Play a sometime minuet

Careless hands pick blossoms

Reach to warmth and brush

Another flower for your thoughts
