Mists of dawn peel back
the morning, newly awoken.
Courting birds copy and display,
in murky cold gloom.

Clouds darker than night,
race astride water and trees
embarassingly bare, in the
bleak winter tempest.

Water gardens beneath mirror
reflected crystal film.
Verdant green plants gleam
in the amber aquatic greenhouse.

Scratchy songs of reedbirds,
by floating circles of lilypads,
and yolk yellow of water
iris, fleck colour onto the scene.

A shadow drifts slowly
above the reedbeds, a
harrier, quarters, twists,
dives, swerving on hissing air.

Graceful, alert, a legend
alive, a beauteous God of
the air, it hunts just like
the life it leads, free.

The simple beauty of swans and
geese call their wild sounds.
Swirling reeds, like submerged
wheat fields, blow in the clearest air.

Wilderness of sheer beauty,
a world created by a power
higher and perfect, God's
world may not be killed by humans.

The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved. (Victor Hugo.)
