The sun\'s warming rays paint a story
lighting the beauty all around
pouring all of its golden glory
where flowers of every shade and hue abound
Gentle breezes launch seductive scents
and the brook’s dancing water
whisper to me lovely portents
of all worries and sadness\' slaughter
Lazy lace clouds silently spread,
ever changing patterns of shadows
over rippling grass whose hypnotic waves have led
the serenading birds, cicadas, and night\'s creatures in the shallows
Trees sway, and butterflies lift and fall
As shadows lengthen, night draws on
Imitating the golden orb now so small
fireflies of green and yellow pulse and fade above the lawn
drifting through the darkness of space
The golden king\'s lunar sister reflects
a soft silvery glow as the hours race
A distant symphony of frogs and crickets offer grace
a concert under a shower of stars
Distant thunder rolls, lightning flashes
Drops patter on the clay tile roof leaving memoirs
The smell of fresh rain on dry ground crashes
Fire, water, air and earth
The four elements of eternity
From which all life gave birth
All that was, is or ever will be
