Simple Celebration Drops of water wash over my skin Cleansing me like baptismal rain From the purity of clouds above and I Embrace the gift of the moment The scent of wild raspberries mingles With fragrant Alder leaves and fiddle ferns Melding to create nature’s perfume Briefly captured in the breeze Dancing among dwarf dewberry flowers Blades of grass brush my legs Flirtatious with each damp caress Waving gently and continuously To not celebrate the natural world To not see, smell or dance With nature’s beautiful bounty Is simply a tragedy --- Alison |

Dear Alison, I so enjoyed these lines my friend. To not celebrate the natural world To not see, smell or dance With nature’s beautiful bounty Is simply a tragedy How true a statement, how wonderful a post. Rick |

Beautiful. I especially liked "Flirtations with each damp caress", just a perfect line. |

A most fine Nature 'write'! I especially LOVE the following imagery: “I Embrace the gift of the moment….. The scent of wild raspberries mingles With fragrant Alder leaves and fiddle ferns…. creat(ing) nature’s perfume Briefly captured in the breeze…” sustained applause!! |
