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
