You are every blade of grass

naturemusicmortality

You are every blade of grass

The daisy in a chain

The ring around my finger

Every tree hiding in shadow

Wreathed in wonder

Sheltering a smile

The clouds call out

A silently built crescendo

Mounting a chorus

Of approval as

A blood red sunset

Pulls a blanket over a

Baby powder blue sky

A sunflower

Is a slow hand

Waving as the day dies

You are the humming bird

The bumble bee

The song of summer

The humble beginning

The glorious end

Waiting for a rainbow

To burst into song

You are the treasure

The prize

Most coveted

As the burning orb sets

In a blaze of burnished

Perpetuity

You are as always

Is forever.
