Nature

The colors swirl around

Like leaves, careless and

Free, gently falling to the earth.

Colors, golden, brown,

Orange, blending to a

Smooth perfection

Pleasing to the minds eye.

Autumn winds remind me

I am, who I am.

Watching the colors

Dance around me.

The sunset cripples the night’s

Advance as it creeps its way

Into bed. Twilight-thrown in

With the hues of pink and purple

The true beauty of nature.

Night and its warm winds

Will come, balancing out

The shadows that stalk over

The earth.

Silence-the world has gone

To bed.

But the night is not dead

Or silent in anyway

It screams for attention

In the hoot of an owl,

The squeak of its prey

The moving of the moon

The howling of the wolf.

The tree’s will bend

With the passing

 of the clouds, escorting

in the deepest night.

The stars tell the stories

Of long-ago hero’s

The leaves dancing to

Their longing lustful tune

This is nature

Where the wind

Soothes my aching soul

Which yearns for something more

This is my world, both shared and loved

Hopefully to never disappear.
