Between the Changes of Nature (poem)

20 Sep

Between the Changes of Nature

Between the rain and the sun, between the wet and the dry,
So the land is refreshed under a cloudy or clear sky.
Each change brings life to the plants and creatures living below,
Without one or the other, this green world we would not know.

Between winter and summer, nature begins to prepare,
Spreading out its leaves to welcome the warming sun up there.
Between spring and autumn, nature brings flowers for the bees,
Green leaves for the creatures grazing on the land and the trees.

Between summer and winter, nature produces its crop,
When animals gather their food, and fruit from the trees drop.
Between autumn and spring, nature retreats and shuts the door,
Abandoning autumn’s splendour until spring knocks once more.

Between the changes of nature, life on earth finds its way,
Bringing a promise of tomorrow, upon each new day.
All the seasons are needed, plus the changes in weather,
Between them, the wonders of life on earth come together.

As the evening comes (poem)

11 Aug

As the evening comes

As the evening comes to bring the closing of the day,
Nature starts to settle down as the light fades away.
Another busy day is over, it’s time to rest,
As the sun slowly fades from sight, sinking in the west
The rabbits return to their barrows deep underground,
Just nibbled remains of grasses left scattered around.
The birds sing their final song as the dusk settles deep,
Settling on the bushes and trees to go to sleep.
The squirrels climb into their holes as the night descends,
For the creatures of the day, it’s now that their day ends.

As the evening comes to bring the starting of the night,
The creatures of the day have all disappeared from sight.
The world belongs to the moonlight and the stars up high.
The bats begin to wake up, spread out their wings and fly,
Sending out their echoes as they seek their food to eat.
The foxes start their hunting, so agile on their feet.
The hedgehogs are rummaging for insects in the lawn.
The owls go hunting silently from dusk until dawn.
Nature never knows stillness, only its cast gets changed.
As the evening comes, so nature just gets rearranged.

The scattering of sunlight (poem)

07 Jul

The scattering of sunlight

The scattering of sunlight dancing through the trees,
The flowers swaying to the sound of the buzzing bees.
Butterflies start dancing with the rising of the sun,
Their colours shining now that another day’s begun.
The birds sing their dawn chorus, greeting the suns new light,
The bees, the birds, the butterflies, to the skies take flight.

The scattering of sunlight spreading across the ground,
The rabbits start emerging to see what can be found.
The deers start wandering, nibbling the leaves and grass,
Taking sips of water from a stream they wander pass.
The otters on the riverbank race along its rim,
Then dive into its water, where they can play and swim
