A World Alive

All the pageantry about our world
The vastness of its boundless seas
The breath of dawn that rustles leaves
The silvery glistening of dripping raindrops
How great a gorgious sun rises above
A soaring hawk on shaped wing swoops
Anounces with sharp cry a shout of spring
The warm comfort of a soft summer's eve
The silent stunning song of all the stars
How much they set my world ablaze
A million points of light to guide me
Through all my nights and all my days

So rich with pictures and words that show your adoration of nature and its forms of life and how do they affect a poetic spirit like yours. Lovely, thanks.

Ayhra... It feel like minds are like the artist's canvas that merely catch reflections of life and nature, feelings and light, our thoughts and words are her paint.

It's a wonderful world. Your poem is a gracious way to appreciate Mother Nature and God's Creation. Appreciation is an attifude of gratitude. It's almost like like a prayer when we are thankful. Thanks for sharing.
