Nature’s Ceaseless Crawl


Image

Snow flakes fall from a crying sky
Each sparkling crystal tells of time going by
The blanket of glistening white does not belie
Natural cycles of nature, begins from on high

Soon to come, billows of warm Spring air
Melting ice and snow, water for all to share
By  brooks and streams meandering everywhere
Turn buds into blossoms with help of Sun’s energy glare

As the days grow long and temperatures rise
Spectrum of color abound, a feast for the eyes
Cascading fragrances waft about the skies
Summer, a time of charm, delight and surprise

The feast filled harvest bounty evidence to the coming Fall
The prelude period to Season’s last call
With temperatures dropping beckoning a sleepy lull
Announceing Winter’s arrival to Nature’s ceaseless crawl

Wintery Gale


Image

the winds howl, lightening followed by thunder roar,
the house shaken violently to its foundation  core.
snow laden pines sway to wind’s unabated force,
this wintery night is taking a viciously charted course.

sparkling crystal droplets of moisture reflect street lantern light,
their unbridled, swirling dance making for a wondrous sight delight
offsetting the harsh storm drama being played out this night,
abating even a shaken pet cat’s spontaneous fright.

cast in frozen watery cocoon of snow and ice,
all nature’s creation left clutched in winter’s vice,
defying its foreboding the picture created being visually nice,
it remains an experience not want to see happen twice.

Pet


While watching my cute, furry little buddy as he slept, eyes moving about under closed lids and the occasional twitching of his hind and front paws, gave me pause to wonder what is going on inside his little head, what dreams of might is he conjuring to stimulate his otherwise woken world of domestication? Hence the following:

heavy, eyes slumber from this world of domestication
to enter a nether world of dream’s creation
here as hunter, master of dens procreation
ruler to this land, championing challenge altercation

fed by the bowels of pray fallen by cunning
fear instilled onto others by presence stunning
senses staying acute even in restful sunning
the sudden lurch of power loins see them running

a sudden noise, sensory twitch commands immediate attention
awakening evolution script to assess the situation
muscles involuntarily poised to danger, a confrontation
manifesting only to be human master’s feeding subjugation

Winter Country


Image

 

The brilliant white florescence of new fallen snow
Transcends an otherwise grey day to magically glow
Pine trees heavily laden, their branches begin to bow
The wonder of winter country, so few get to know

The crack and creek of ice, the lake hardens to the freeze
Snow drifts sculpted, carved by mild wind breeze
Chimney smoke rises, dancing above barren trees
A wondrous sight, does nothing but please

Though the fallen temps chill to the bone
Nothing beats a snowy walk, with friends or alone
Only to return to a hearth warmed home
To a cup of hot chocolate, a raspberry scone

Winter, a brief season that comes but once a year
A time of dread for some, others gleefully cheer
With warm woolen mitts and scarf, the cold’s not to fear
It’s a time to be alive, to be thankful you are here.

Nature’s Gift


Image

Meandering through the mystic haze of fantasy’s delight
My mind takes to a joyous and wondrous flight
Maneuvering the senses through whimsical, playful light
Making this mental journey a spectacular sight

Animated characters of hallucination’s invent
A creative response to suppressed emotions intent
Allowing the expunging of suffering to gain content
An experience not lost to time of moment spent

Over the counter and cannabis do not prevail
Oxycotton, crack destroy this freedom sail
Onslaught of artificiality does imagination curtail
One need only freshness of nature’s air to inhale

This nurturing gift is there to freely imbibe
To enrich the body Soul, to know it’s alive
Taken oft for granted that by it all do survive
To destroy it,  death to all, it surely will derive.

Jewel Amongst Stones


Innocent amongst the stones lay a jewel; precious yet unassuming, wanting for nothing of mention to its beauty though beautiful it is;  honoring all the essence of nature’s glorious offerings to the beholder’s sense of sight; who in turn, can relish, if but for a moment, with awe, in  the unique, unheralded presence so unabashedly announced by virtue of its being amongst those found present.
