Intimate Portrait

How completely fearless
are the arms
of Mother Nature
Bringing great winds
surging life with blissful favor
Voices of her waters
soothing the tone of mankind
Slumbering on debts
which may sometimes
devour our time
Her lantern's ballet
with power in their candle
operatic wings
To terrace
the earth
a place of suavely
equated gardens
Gems of dominion
like the God
of her glorious deep
Crown the footsteps
of full moons
while we passion in our dreams
Soft her matted floor
screaming colors
of heavenly scent
Bizarre selections
of multicolored paintings,
verification of her greatness
Trickling down poignant harbors
our precious
eternal voyage
Peacefully
tumbling through warm breezes
of life
Outstanding milieu of seasons
infused with birth like a midwife
Unshaken in love, by an act of grace
unfolding gestures of summer
Knowledge of porous earth
by odors of mountainous climbs & perils
She is our might, our glimmer of suggestion
most intricate thoughts
hour-glass on a hill
or glorious portal to
some tropical isle
Be astounded by morning,
before dawn, while she sleeps
Like the silence
between two words,
gathering inspirational deep
She is the very human force of man,
his labors and his mind
The pulse of light,
knowledge,
experience and of
continuous time
She is a unvarying intimacy
wrapping us in her afghan
Wandering with
livelihood
dwelling within the heart of man
Reflecting voices
spurring communication with sound
Green crest of the hill playing nature's music profound

Nicely painted, LeeJ. Our Mother Nature sure is beautiful! sigh, if only people would really treat her with the dignity she deserves....

A most fine ‘write’!

I LOVE:

“Mother Nature….

surging life with blissful favor(!)…”;

“…her waters
soothing the tone of mankind…” ;

AND, I am exceptionally fond of:

“Peacefully
tumbling through warm breezes
of life
Outstanding milieu of seasons…”

PLUS, the wonderful last line!:

“Green crest of the hill playing nature's music profound(!)”

Serious, sustained applause!!

I sometimes do but it's mostly so very hard to highlight passages of your writes.  The weave of your words results in a marvelous tapestry and this one in particular shows every detail.  You're amazing!
