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

We'll fox 'em, baffle 'em maybe.
If it was a Big Bang - who caused it?! heehee.
It can't be that everything just 'happens', without some Being in control - so I say.
That's what they said when the neighbor's house burnt down. They're still looking for those guys. lol
Thanks for the read Orchi
Seems like it, Soren - those four elements in the right combination in a very specific location/orbit round our sun.. ‘Goldilocks zones’, it has always seemed to me in all probability exist everywhere. Let’s hope that other sentient beings taking advantage do a better job of appreciation and conservation than earthlings here….
Nicely worked logic in poetic form.
Thanks Dave I agree whatever they are they could hardly do worse. Appreciate the review
Those elements can fill our lives with wonder soren.

Thanks Andy I appreciate the review and comment
'and the brook’s dancing water
whisper to me lovely portents'
seductive imagery
there is a cadence of grace in these words
as if Gaia herself blessed your ink..
