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.

Nature knows the way, naturally (poem)

28 Aug

Nature knows the way, naturally

Let a rainbow be simply a rainbow,
Let it just bring colour into the sky.
Let all the stars twinkle and the moon glow,
Without having to know the reason why.

Let the butterfly spread out its wide wings,
As the caterpillar turns into one.
Let’s just enjoy all the beauty that it brings,
Without having to work out how it’s done.

Let the tides rise and fall upon the beach,
As the world rotates through night and day.
Let natures beauty be within our reach,
Without trying to guide it on its way.

Let the birds fly over the oceans wide,
Over the lands, knowing just where to go.
Let’s enjoy watching them from the bird hide,
Without understanding just how they know.

Let’s enjoy our natural world at its best,
Its seasons, the sunshine, the mountain view.
Let’s walk through the wonders of the forest,
Without trying to reason it all through.

In this world of ours, nature finds its way,
Without handbooks, everything still grows.
So let’s just enjoy what’s we see each day,
When it comes to what to do, nature knows.

A country walk (poem)

06 Aug

A country walk

With a spring in the step, happiness in the heel,
The joy of the journey in your feet you now feel.
The hills lay before you, the dales in between,
And on the horizon great mountains are seen.

With the first gentle steps along the old track,
Your stress slides away, like a weight off your back.
Trees to your left and a brook to your right,
And when turning a corner, the birds take flight.

You stop for a rest to watch clouds drifting by,
And the skylarks and kestrels, high above fly.
A blue lake can be seen in the valley below,
Around you the bees and butterflies show.

A new view appears as you go round each bend,
As the sunset begins, so the journey must end.
Time for a rest, to relax and put up your feet,
Whilst the hedgehogs go seeking their supper to eat.

The glory of nature – Night (poem)

09 Jul

The glory of nature – night

Let the creatures of the night rise,
As the sun surrenders the day.
Let the bats take to those dark skies,
Seeking out insects for their prey.

Let the owls stretch out their wide wings,
As they silently take to flight.
Let us sleep as the nightingale sings,
Whose sweet song echos through the night.

Let the hedgehog uncurl once more,
Seeking out small insects to eat.
Let our gardens be there to explore,
Finding food by the garden seat.

Let the fox hunt without a sound,
It’s cubs playing in the forest.
Let the night creatures roam around,
Until dawn, when they go to rest.

The glory of nature – Dawn (poem)

09 Apr

The glory of nature – Dawn

Let nature rise up in glory,
With the coming of the new sun.
Let the birds sing out their story,
For natures day has now begun.

Let the dawn call upon the mist,
To begin this day in shadows.
Let the deer browse through the forest,
As the cows graze in their meadows.

Let the hedgehogs go off to sleep,
As their night of foraging ends.
Let the willow tree gently weep,
As the river flows round its bends.

Let all the creatures of the day,
Greet this new dawn, so fresh and bright.
Let nature find a better way,
Travelling from dawn until night.

Nature’s summer wonders (poem)

01 Aug

Nature’s summer wonders

The sun rolls lazily across our summer sky,
The gardens are putting on their summer show.
Above them, the swifts and swallows are flying high,
While the butterflies dance upon the flowers below.

Roses burst open in colours of yellows, pinks and reds,
Their blooms sway gently from a passing summer breeze.
The Buddleias and the flowers in their flowerbeds,
Are surrendering their pollen to the passing bees.

In the woodlands, the animals are raising their young,
The trees providing the shelter and homes that they need.
Its canopy echoes to the songs the birds have sung,
Its spring blossom slowly changing to autumn seed.

From the Oceans to the Mountains (poem)

15 Feb

From the Oceans to the Mountains

From the Earth’s deepest ocean, up to the mountains high,
Can be found all the creatures that crawl, run, swim or fly.
Life has found a way, wherever space could be found,
Whether it’s high up in the trees, or down on the ground.
Around us are all the wonders that this living world gives,
A world spinning in space, and where all of humankind lives.

This precious Earth of ours is the only world that we know,
Where life can be found, and where rivers of water flow.
A precious commodity, and one that we all share,
A world full of wonder, and for which we should all care.
Where animals can live and have the freedom to roam,
And somewhere for our children to forever call home.
