Green Or Grey.

Goldfinch60



I stood on the croquet lawn and looked,

Looked all around me and above me.

The sun was shining,

The clouds were white and streaky.

The trees and bushes were free of leaves

Devastated by Winter’s coldness,

But as I looked closer

Buds were starting to grow,

Spring was on its way

And the bareness of Nature’s world

Will soon be filled with Nature’s greenery

And I will see all its glory surrounding me.

The wonder of Nature is so superb

I appreciate all my time with it

And am so pleased that it is there,

It is always there for me to see.

 

The thought then comes to me,

In this pleasant time homo sapiens lives

And only think of themselves,

And what is in it for them.

They are destroying Nature,

Destroying Nature with selfish ways.

The must learn to protect,

Protect our world from harm,

As maybe one day the lawn may be gone

And nobody will be able to stand on it

And revel in the joy of Nature,

As I do in this moment in time.
