Deep in nature the boardwalk turns Through maple swamps and giant ferns So many creatures there are to see amazing for photography! Along the canal odd sounds are heard A frog, a gator, or native bird A snake may slither atop the moss A turtle may make its way across. Under the bridges a limpkin may call The Heron, ibis, or dragonfly small All hunting and fishing together for food, Observing, put’s one in a joyful mood. Adventuring deeper onto the sandy trail You may see armadillo, lizard or apple snail. Small creatures energetically on their way Even a fox or panther may be seen at play. By chance or careful eyesight, you may detect The wondrous habitat of a tiny insect. Eagle, osprey, hawk, even a kite May make a magical overhead flight. The colorful flower garden can light up your eye When it lures the fluttering butterfly. All creatures have their own distinct power! And you must view sawgrass lake from the tower.

Sawgrass Lake Park
My name is Passion, soft as a flower, I am the shadow locked in the tower. I am the dust of a hundred years I am the rust made from golden tears. I am the song in the back of your mind A fading vision of the artist gone blind. I am the thought you may overlook I am the clover folded within a book. I will sing to the world with words unheard I will fly around you like a tiny songbird I will laugh, I will cry, I will give you my heart I will love you until the night I part. My name is Passion, small as a tear, Light as the day moon when the sky is clear. I whisper your name while my mind’s asleep and kiss you in dream, then I smile and I weep. Serfinski 6.13.2018

My name is Passion
Fly free across the universe, sweet dove! Let your feathers sparkle with the glory of love. Be yourself among valleys and highlands of kings Let heaven see the power of your wings. Reach for the stardust, your dream’s to be free The world is you nest of opportunity!

Fly Free
Swan, sleeping Neath twilights echoed sun hues Poised innocently on the crest of shore In dreams fused with sounds of songbirds fading. Distant winds rush to steal eves last lost cloud Whilst on the horizon stands sanguine moon Softening the delusions of night views. As ebony wings fan over earths floor Silent hour phantoms arise, wading Through the creeping vapors swiftly to enshroud Their voiceless hopes, that change will seek them soon. Calmly the world leans, waking flowers call The young beams to warm their faces And the swan unfolds wide wings to enthrall Everything that encounters its graces. serfinski

WHEN SUN SETS
Royal moon, dawning on majestic Throne Shining silver face, bright lips of rosy glow Balanced upon the misty ocean wave alone Rising like a king in the opening show With glistening robe casting a luminous trail Upon the fluctuating expressions of the boundless sea. Climbing the heavens as if by sublime wings soft and pale Embellishing restless clouds harmonizing silently With daylights dancing azure shades, like watercolors run Down nights’ canvas painted with the brush of morning breath Almost blinded with the coming of the fiery sun, Moon fades into a daydream on the soft cushion of temporary death. serfinski 2017

Moons dramatic Play
We are blessed with a child, let nature sing Let the spirit fly free from the grace of the wing Let loves voice be heard from heaven to earth And rock the cradle of this pure infant’s birth. The newborn is free from the care of the womb Dewy eyes slowly open like new buds in bloom Nurtured by mother’s shelter and God’s life cord First small breath of life, first moment adored. First light, first sight, first bellowing scream As translucent lids rouse from innocent’s dream Feeling life’s fresh breath on its tender new skin Greeted by beloved parents, weeping turns to a grin. serfinski

Blessed 2017
Moon tiptoes unseen across the noon sky Casting no shadow beneath its silent wing Unnoticed by the busy human eye Till the moment it appears as a King Adorned with a stately crown of fire Ethereal, divine, unworldly orange ring It becomes the entity of desire A golden globe of transitory bling Suspended like a mist of blinding of light Innocent naked purity now a radiant shrine Cloaking daytime into starry night Paling the sunset’s glow on the ocean line, On a chariot between the sun and earth Like a Majestic spirit exposing its worth. Then returns the phases of its steadfast birth. Serfinski 2017

Total Eclipse 2017
Colossal daemon of the sultry sky Roaring monster, climbing from the oceans weary wave Staggering, recklessly, mercilessly Savagely pursuing vital fluids like a vampire to endure Slurping inlets dry, ripping homes from mother and child In pursuit of another quenchless drink Like a drunk hitting all the local bars Entangling the guiltless in your wild Whirling atmosphere of destructive squall Moaning in agony like dead spirits trapped in hell Crying a million tears of dauntless throbbing rain Soaring sideways beneath your dark shadowed wing Indurating earths fertile ***** with mighty surge. Die! Gloomy cyclops, beast of one still eye, Blinded only when your habit is no longer fed With balmy breaths and endless draughts of spirit Your mighty tide of thoughtlessness seeks a place to perish So, tranquility can again blanket the world with comfort. serfinski

The Hurricane Irma
Tiny song bird with folded wing Perched upon the fountain Lovely tune that you shall sing To wake up old man mountain. Like a Lyricist concealed In the leafy boughs of thought, Soothing melodies revealed Before the messenger is sought. I follow your delightful sound Carried by the breeze Hoping you will come around I wait beneath the trees. Fluttering from branch to sky Poetry in your flight Colors dance before my eye Whence I have you in my sight. Little mystic sparrow Gliding on the air Like a silvery arrow With sunlight on you fair From your nest within the tree Dewy leaves and tangled vine You first learned how to hover free High above the earth divine. serfinski

Song bird
How delightful is life, shall I ponder? With exposed heart and open eyes, I wonder: As I dance on earths ***** do I see And feel Natures elegance abundantly? Do I smell the incense when soft winds blow? Do I perceive sweet pollen when it fly’s like snow? Does the song of the bird encourage me to fly? Will the sun and moon reflect in my eye? Is my hair aroused from the wings of the dove? Does my tongue taste the languages of love? Do I hear the music in the tumbling rain? Oh, yes. All these wonders enchant my brain Even my dreams paint with colors of the sky Teaching me lessons of life’s precious high. Serfinski 5.31.2018
