MORNING GLORY

It was in the bright spring morn

The birds awoke at crack of dawn

Though the light was still dim

They hop twixt branch and limb

Day begins with the dawn chorus

And starts the day for all of us

OLD WATER

 

Why does mineral water?

That Started in the mountains

As melting snow and ice

Feeding streams and fountains

And has trickled through

Granite rock and slate

For countless centuries

Need to have a 'use by' date?

BLUEBELLS IN THE WOOD

 

Bluebells in the wood

Sway in the dappled shade

To the tune of Spring

REAWAKENED

 

Nature Reawakened

As The Long Winter Dies

Naked Boughs Are Dressed

Spring Causing Sap To Rise

The Resounding Birdsong

Fills Again The April Sky’s

And The Warming Earth

Releases Daff’s And Narcissi’s

REBORN

 

Mountain snows thawing

Swollen rivers causing

Nature dormant awakening

New life into breathing

Sprouting shoots arriving

Early cherry blossoming

Annual event occurring

Life’s cycle repeating

Springtime refreshing

Simple senses pleasing

God’s design believing

THE SNOW QUEEN

 

The Snow Queen Banished

To Slumber Again Unseen

As Mother Nature Paints

Again, The Landscape Green

DARK DAYS OF WINTER

     

Stinging sleet on north winds blow

Biting wind brings driving snow

Freezing fog with bitter chill

Frost and ice over vale and hill

Long cold nights and short dark days

These are winters unfriendly ways
