Now and then, I find myself with the time and opportunity to observe the beauty of nature. At times like those, words come to me and I create...
A Little Garden...
I found a little garden
That overlooks the sea,
Where grass and seashells marry,
And the gulls and blackbirds feed.
Trees and grass look over
Towards a close horizon,
I watch the boats and say my thanks
For this view to set my eyes on.
Waters calm, the waves kiss the sand
And cradle the vessels in their mighty hands.
Butterflies flit so silently,
From the the rustling of the trees
To the open sea.
I feel so safe
With no fear of harm.
I'll treasure this
Few moments of calm.

Fifty Shades of Blue and Green...
A hundred calls of nature singing...
Seabirds, country feathered wings
Live side by side, amongst what nature brings.
Salty air, A sky of blue, No clouds in sight, I think of you...
If you were here, instead of unseen,
I'd share with you these shades of green,
Where sky meets the sea and the grass shines so bright.
It's oh, so quiet, not a person in sight...
The faintest breeze of warm summer air
Embraces my arms, my face, my hair,
And whispers through the budding trees,
The blades of grass, the fluttering leaves.
Barely a sound, yet nature calls
So softly, gently, and calming all
To be still, And breathe, And live in the moment...
Precious times like these are Heaven sent.
