Blustery, billowing winds bend leaves
and shake the very roots of trees.
'tis so in the wisp of a gentle breeze
when the blossoms bloom, I sneeze.
Little fawns nimble, nibble on grass
While the fox and the hare romp pass.
Bold stream gushes rushes over boulders
while waterfall's mist tickles my shoulders.
Sunlight dances making a radiant rainbow
Dancing, dazzling putting on quite a show.
The shady mountain path wide and narrow
Across the blue sky flies a host of sparrows.
A majestic eagle perched on a rocky crest
as eaglets are neatly nestled in the nest.
I love Mother Nature's nurturing glory
in my sacred solitude to write this story.
