NATURES LEGACY
Wakening from raptured dreams
unheld in reverenced memory
by glance of searching scrutiny
she stirs insensible to time.
Within her households firm embrace
a constant stream of tenancy
without she walked at peace alone
much vivified by influences
Clear waters wash a shingled bed
with gentle sounds which reach her ear
and odours from the harvest fields
invade the morning air.
Her smile as warm as summer sun
content in equanimity
beneath the arching foliage tones
in lightfast shades of green
No wealth of glowing epithets
could best describe
affected not by ignorance
her love of nature’s legacy.
