Masterpiece

Filtering golden through crimson leaves,

The Sun’s light and the regal Oak tree,

Create daily, a beauteous masterpiece.

An ever-changing portrait,

Drawn by the hand divine,

Is Nature’s gift to mankind.

Red dust, lilac dusk, and green cacti 

Bring forth a mosaic so majestic

A knotted throat and a teary eye

Spring forth, like first seeing your child.

Even those grim and gray thunderheads,

Attempt to document, hence the camera flashes.

How could such beauty come about? By chance?

Perhaps it did and humans, being children

Of the Earth, cannot help but see and be

Inspired, awed by our eternal matriarch.

Beautiful images, nature

Beautiful images, nature paints a canvas more lovely than man ever could, but your words do it real justice, and through them I can see it all for myself in my own mind's eye. Thank you, Sue.

Thanks! I get the most

Thanks! I get the most inspiration from nature and I can only hope to communicate that inspiration in the best way i know, with my words.

Thank you Sweetwater for taking the time to listen.
