BOUNTY

 

Carrots and Swedes,

Fruits and Berries,

Potatoes and Grasses,

Beans and Peas,

Nuts and seeds,

Growing all around,

Mother nature’s bounty,

Planted in the ground

KINGFISHER, KINGFISHER

 

Kingfisher, Kingfisher

A glint of silver

Catches your eye

And like an arrow

You dart with purpose

Beneath the water

With barely a splash

Disappearing for a moment

Before returning

With the silver prize

BENEATH THE FOREST CANOPY

 

Beneath the forest canopy

In the Emerald darkness

Of the ancient wood

It was refreshingly cool

But shadow soon gave way

To the dappled shade

Where the sun pierced

The leafy veil

Littering the floor

With Golden discs of light

And when the forest thinned

We came upon a Deer

Grazing in a forest glade

THE SUN BURNS BRIGHT ABOVE THE BLUE

 

The sun burns bright above the blue

From above the clouds up high

Shining brightly through the rain

Painting rainbows across the sky

RED DAWN

 

The Red Dawn of a new day

A glimpse of heaven

Signifying a new beginning

Another precious gift

Another day of life

Not to be squandered

But be accepted

In the spirit it was given

 

THISTLEDOWN, IN IDLE FLIGHT

 

Thistledown, in idle flight

Drifts upon the highland wind

Like ancestral spirits

BLUEBELLS IN THE WOOD

 

Bluebells in the wood

Sway in the dappled shade

To the tune of Spring
