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.

So very true Michael, nature's legacy is there for us all, all we must do is appreciate it.
Van Gogh is still alive then!
Very good artwork Michael.
It's a pity more people don't appreciate it - if they did preservation would not be such an issue.
Yes it is a Goghish - pronounced Goff !!
Is this about Miss Berles taking a countryside walk or something?! heehee. A fine write and pic M.
Yes she's there Am Berle (ing) along.
Thanks M. At first it looked like one of those daft names, where they don't give the first name, e.g. A. Mary Berle, or J. Bill Stickers.

An awesome poem Michael.
Thanks so much Sylvia.
Makes me want to take a leisurely walk. I always love your art as well. Great write.
I really appreciate your kind comment - thanks so much.
Michael, the words you've scribed, within the lines of your poem, (along with your artwork) leave your readers speechless.
Nature, at its finest, expressed so eloquently with your poetic words.
And, I might add, an excellent read! 🙂
Just woken to read your generous review of this. You've once again got my day off to the best start I could wish for. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, Michael.
