To The Sun
Burning, golden heat,
Streams of ember fuelled bright light,
This land comes to bloom.
2. To The Moon
Mysterious ball,
Haunting the black still of night,
Forcing the tides in.
3. To The Stars
Glitter, twinkle, shine,
Talcum upon the canvas,
Countless stars dazzle.
4. The Solar System
Swirling and twirling,
A gravitational pull,
Saturn, Earth and Mars.
5. The Ocean Waves
Watch the ocean wave,
Goodbye, it chants, to the calm,
Crash the rocks; power.
6. For The Sea
Pebble dances on
the current ripples; skimming,
Reach the sea’s deep floor.
7. Sandy Shore
Inch wearily down,
The dunes cushion the restful,
Comfort in each grain.
8. Mighty Mountain
Diminished beneath,
Towering nature stands proud,
Bold mighty mountain.
9. Volcano Roar
Rumble; make fire,
Lava flow and trees tumble,
Dramatic scene; ash.
10. River Flow
From trickle it came,
Striding like Goliath came,
Now smooth harmony.
11. Daylight
Creep up; slowly rise,
Paint the break in red of morn,
Sleepers yawn and wake.
12. Darkness
Cloudy night, no stars,
Street lamps turned darker than black,
Serene and eerie.
13. Cold Air
Rows of people quake,
Shake in the shivering freeze,
Winter chills the bone.
14. Warm Breeze
Clothing slips; undress,
The warmth of a summer wind,
Bending daffodils.
15. Tall Tree
Sleek, slender branches,
Heavens closest creation,
Green leaves; solid bark.
16. Petals
Spiritual ring,
Loop around the sacred rose,
A petal surround.
17. Leaves
Absorbing sunlight,
Reaching out; decorative,
Crunch under my feet.
18. Dried Grass
Water never comes,
Brown and dusty blades remain,
Dried barren desert.
19. Green Grass
Flourishing springtime,
Shoots pushing through aiming high,
Green and vigorous.
20. Wild Woods
Nettles, flowers, trees,
A lake of lily pads; frogs,
Untamed – natural.
