Nature – in the Backyard
Nature’s way to speak to us all
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
The vibrant red of a cardinal on a gray and gloomy winters day
The soaring of an eagle in what appears to be an endless sky
The sounds of water as it travels after a torrent rain
It’s there for all to see, it’s there for all to hear, for you see, it is…
Nature’s way to speak to us all,
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
The swaying of a tree, in a Summer’s warm sultry breeze
The weaving of a web from a spider from tree to tree to tree
The symphony of crickets and frogs, as I sit upon my deck
It’s there for all to see, it’s there for all to hear, for you see, it is…
Nature’s way to speak to us all,
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
The power of an ant moving a beetle ten times its size
The revolving carousel of birds around a feeder hung near by
The rapid flittering of the hummingbird’s wings,
Is always a wonder
It’s there for all to see, it’s there for all to hear, for you see, it is…
Nature’s way to speak to us all,
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
The warmth of the sun, on a brisk fall day
The harvest moon, or any that is amongst a star lit sky
The emergence of new leaves, ready to spring forth all life, a fresh breath
It’s there for all to see, it’s there for all to hear, for you see, it is…
Nature’s way to speak to us all,
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
You need not travel far, you need not travel wide
You need not procure additional clothing and wares
All you need, is to be aware, for you see, it is…
Nature’s way to speak to us all
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
Something for everyone, just waiting to please
You need not fret, if you are prone to sneeze
For even an open curtain, may bring you to your knees
For I wish, that all would see, it is…
Always a wonder,
Nature’s way to speak to us all
If only we stop, to absorb it’s awe!
