Personal note: To be concerned with nature, is to be in touch with dimensions of beauty, that often escapes us when hurrying about.

SPRINGTIME In the glow of the dawn, Welcome a new day, Greet the golden sunlight or rain, Nature in all its subtlety. Whip of the wind, Earth unfolds, Softly falling rain, Growing plants and buds blossoming. Visions of the earth, with glories of nature, Beauty of the daffodils, Sunshine and rain from a rainbow, Awe! Nature in full bloom Rising in early morn Birds with note loud and musical Lustrous species adorned with rich bicolors glowing, Attracting attention from movements of character unvarying. Birds building nests in the spring Sound of sweet melody, humming birds sing Sunshine spreading a colorful blanket Tis the perfect joy of spring!

AUTUMN LEAVES The earth changing from birth of spring Trees reflect colours in perfect harmony Autumn captures nature at work, fascinating. Leaves tumble, spread a colourful blanket so bright Linking sense to sound of crushed leaves When tread upon, a delight. To marvel at the red sun, setting The star-filled sky Awed, by the harvest moon, enchanting.. Colourful display of leaves falling. Feasting the naked eye Of the covered land with mystic surface, breathtaking, The forces of nature, sweet sound of life. Snow birds flying in formation A beauty in the sky.

TOMORROW Tomorrow I'm going to gulp air... Tomorrow is going to be the day to have fun... Yet, as the days fade into months and quickly into years... Intentions turn to broken dreams and some tears... And suddenly, our tomorrows have quickly gone away... If we want tomorrow, we had better plan our life today!
