Poems
When Nature Appears
Spring in The Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
Tender green she wears her gown,
Blossoms woven make her crown,
Joy of birdsong, welcoming
For the time has come to celebrate spring.
Tiny tendrils now unfurl,
Shoots spring forth to greet the world,
Life begins to smile again
As dewdrops gather, glistening.
Tulip, my chalice, catching the sun,
Golden nectar, for all has become
Beauty blushes, behold her glow
For her radiance does capture our soul.
Petal maiden, virginal bride,
The May Queen dances on the other side,
Yet here – en face – it is September
As seasons change we must remember –
Embrace each day, invite the new,
Shedding all that is not true,
A butterfly, we re-emerge
Our wings outspread – follow the urge –
Reinvent, explore, rejuvenate,
Shake off all doubts as night abates
For light has come, behold the dawn –
Arcadia – we are reborn.
Heart laid bare for all to see
Glory in its majesty
Here she stands, so wild, so free –
