The wind within a storm (poem)

The wind within a storm

Here comes a fresh breeze,
Brushing through the trees,
Nudging the leaves to one side.
Branches gently sway,
A storm’s on its way,
From this storm nothing can hide.

Strong winds start to blow,
Seeking high and low,
Every crack they will find.
Racing in and out,
Running all about,
Frequently changing their mind.

Some petals break free,
Setting off to see,
What else there is to be found.
The grass laying flat,
To avoid all that,
Staying closely to the ground.

Some seeds are released,
Into this wild beast,
Wherever it blows, they go.
Flying through the air,
They will land somewhere,
Taking root, so they can grow.

This storm’s going past,
It’s fading at last,
Just a few white clouds remain.
The wind becomes calm,
There’s no more alarm,
The grass stands up once again.

The glory of nature – Dawn (poem)

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.

Early spring woodland walk (poem)

Early spring woodland walk

The morning is fresh and bright,
There’s hardly a cloud in sight,
In the woodland there’s just the gentleness of a breeze.
It’s the beginning of spring,
The birds cheerfully sing,
Perched upon the bushes and the branches of the trees.

There are snowdrops without snow,
And the daffodils are on show,
Their yellows and whites breaking through the woodland green.
Walking a bit further in,
You see the bluebells begin,
A carpet of purple everywhere to be seen.

In the breeze, the blossom’s bobbing,
Upon the branch there’s a robin,
Singing loudly, with its red breast proudly there to see.
The branches are now showing,
Green tips that will start growing,
Into the leaves that will fill the woodland’s canopy.

The hedgehogs have yet to wake,
The birds their nests yet to make,
As their courtship songs go twittering through the air.
There’s a couple of early bees,
Upon the blossom of the trees,
Telling you that in the woodland, spring is almost there.
