Delicate flowers grow on the beach Wave to dark incoming clouds Yellow petals bravely proud Face tides lapping out of reach Snowflakes fall soft quilted down Drift slowly, feather touch Cover ground’s unsightly cuts Virginal trees lace bridal gowns Grasses undulate in meadow lands Waving arms of emerald green Secrets shared of all they’ve seen Guarded by Spruce in ancient stands One world for man and beast to share Offers precious gift of life Boundaries smoothed by palette knife Wounds exposed, then healed with care Hands join hands over land and sea Young and old share one dream Hope shines forth with brilliant sheen Voices swell in songs of unity ...

quote: Wonderful! It sounds like a hymn ... When we are aware of Nature's beauty, hope never dies, as we fill with gratitude. love Margherita |

This ‘penning’ speaks finely and effectively on several of my ‘pet topics’… particularly our responsibility for the ‘stewardship’ of Gaia and also about “Universality” ! I am especially fond of imagery such as those: Soft-quilted falling snowflakes; And: undulating meadowland grasses guarded by ancient spruce stands MUCH applause! |
