Fly where warm winds blow
When you arrive life will grow
Seeding nature's show

Reaching toward the sky
From the bed where rivers lie
Beauty simplified

Natures fiery death
Golden streams of wrath expressed
With the days last breath

Flaming rays at dusk
Fill the skies with streaks of rust
Disappear they must

From the forest floor
Shadows leading through a door
To a lakeside shore

Flowers of the field
Pushed aside they bend and yield
Majesty revealed

Dining by the sea
Friends flocked in to feast with me
Thinking lunch was free

Dawn thunders alive
Gold and orange paint the skies
Nature heaves a sigh

Reaching toward the sky
Fingers touch and voices sigh
Wishing we could fly

Lives are set adrift
With the current shorelines shift
Waves into the cliffs

Misty seas at dawn
Breath of nature thick and strong
Gargles in its song

Waters swift and white
Clear and cold reflecting light
A majestic sight

Rapids race through time
As the days of life unwind
Grapes are turned to wine

Canopied array
Gold reflects on greens in play
Shadows pave the way
