THE NIGHT IS STILL

 

The night is still

And summer flowers sleep

To awake with dawn

A NEW DAY DAWNING

 

On the distant horizon

The embers of the dawn

Brightly glow

As God blows gentle breath

Upon the glowing coals

And lights up another day

GOD’S COUNTRY

 

The breeze on my face was still warm

Though the sun was setting

With the horizon a kaleidoscope of colour,

There would be more rain before morning.

And the thunder would return.

The grass was still wet underfoot

And the air was heavy with that earthy

Just rained on fragrance

Overhead through the leafy canopy

Was the quiet whispering of the breeze

Followed by a hail of displaced raindrops

And I smiled to myself and thanked God

That I should live in such a place

PEAFOWL

 

Two peahens watched

As the peacock danced

The courtship display

He proudly pranced

 

One hen said to the other

“All this is getting on my wick”

Then shouted “stop showing off

And show us your dick”

THE LIGHT SPRING BREEZE PLAYED

 

The light spring breeze played

An enchanting wind chime symphony

But as the breeze became a gale

It soon turned to a cacophony

MOTHER NATURE DRESSED

 

Mother Nature dressed

In her splendorous gown

Brings forth the beauty

Of springs abundant pallet

Awakening the meadows

From winters slumber

Bathing them in sunlight

Drawing the flowers forth

AS THE AUGUST MOON SHINES BRIGHT

 

As the august moon shines bright

On a clear summers night

There is mischief of a kind

For those with love on their mind

As the song birds serenade

The courting couples on parade

BATHED IN SUMMER SUNSHINE

  Bathed in summer sunshine Gentle breezes stir the stems But above in the golden sun Grow an array of perfect gems
