Life

Lovely is the dawn
That starts my day of wonders
Though fog blurs my view

Waving in serene
Moist grass dripping yet daring
Then cast a shadow

Flows the torrid rays
From blazing sun at zenith
Flowers blossom forth

Behold fields and dale
Yonder are the butterflies
Flitting bough to bough

Hawks soar high azure
My flight never been as sure
Lest I am inured

Zephyr chills my skin
Slowly engulfing within
Fear better unknown

Nimbus fills the sky
Birds too reluctant too fly
Befallen to try

Rain but intervenes
Eroding mountains so steep
Wind keeps changing course

Freezing dewy day
Slumber amidst winter lease
Frogs hibernate deep

Bizarre lonely night
Stars dimming as creatures rest
Poets contemplate

Waxing gibbous scares
Only men with surreal thoughts
As hounds howl at night

Firefly still wanders
Unmindful of deep darkness
Man knows but regrets
