Nature’s Song

Published August 22, 2014 by Kathleen's Writings & Art

front view

I rest on my terrace and the sky is clear,
A few wisps of white clouds are drifting near,
I hear the splashing of water in the fountain nearby,
And the garden plants stretch higher
each day that passes by.
The evening is warm as shadows
commence their dance,
A light kiss from the wind for me and the plants;
It’s peaceful around me,
While birds do their singing,
A lovely chorus for me and
All who will listen;
Our GOD gave us nature,
And sweet designs from above,
I know that I Thank Him,
I hope it’s enough.

An Old Woman (someone’s favorite!)

Beneath the shade of an old oak tree,

there sat an old woman

completely free,

humming and singing

an unfamiliar song,

with sounds so sweet

and words not long.

Her white sun-kissed hair

blowing like a running mare

on the tails of the wind,

and her tan leathery skin,

draped with a dress

vibrant in colors

and apparently unpressed.

A spell she cast on me

as I sat near,

how lovely, how serene,

with smells of sweet flowers

awakening in the spring.

A warmth filled my soul

as I closed my eyes,

how peaceful was the

never-ending blue sky.

I could stay there for hours,

no time was addressed,

I had no where to be

and,

I needed the rest.
