Dewdrops touch daybreak
Life awakens to the mist
Haze lifts when sun kissed

Nature’s speculum
Changing with the drifting clouds
Through seasons of time

From mountainous heights
We gaze in taciturn wonder
Into the abyss

Inside a flower
Sweetly scented pollen waits
Till wind stirs its fate

Breath of summers lawn
Rising near a spring fed pond
Disappears at dawn

Crystalline delight
Mountain meadow snared by light
Most exquisite sight

Death gropes silently
From within a world of green
Floating in life's stream

The flower bleeds red
With thorns excavating flesh
While fragrance draws breath

Seas and seasons run
Seeking shelter from the sun
Sands of time undone

Charred remains of bliss
Blazing skies plunge to darkness
Sunsets final kiss

Icy cold and clear
Splashing over hopes and fears
Tension disappears


Nature’s silent eyes
Watching the world floating by
Trying not to cry


White water falling
Bubbling back to the earth
Gravity’s calling


Mirrored reflection
Settling over the world
Inviting nighttime


The fog washed over
Misting the fields with fresh dew
Wetting the forest green


Sands drift endlessly
Deserts washing out to sea
As the Earth floats free


Nectar of springtime
Kissed by the sunshine’s sweet breath
Enticing lovers


Begin life’s specter
Flutter your wings on the wind
Sip nature’s nectar


Grasp memorable rays
Reflections fading away
Clinging to today


Massive clouds hover
A strike instantly ignites
Life into ashes


In a shadowed maze
Forgotten footsteps echo
Through the halls of time


A rainbow dances
Between the trees silhouettes
Nights curtain descends


Crystalline lace falls
Conifers bow in reverence
Breath is visible


From out the darkness
The fingers of God shine through
Reaching out to you
