TEARS OF JOY IN NATURE

My daughter just texted
She wrote she wanted to cry
She was out on a nature trip high
The sheer beauty got her awe inspired

Rolling hills outside of her window haven
Plush green fields caught her imagination
Swathes of heather on the hills
It’s all purple on the fields
All the enchantments nature yields

I said to her
do shed your tears
Whatever touches your heart dear
Be those the scenes that entice
Out on the mountain sides
Or down the horizon where the sun hides

Shed your tears for majestic nature
Whatever touches your heart my dear
With feelings so sincere
It could be the song birds with their tweets
Or the sirens flying by with their whistles
Shed your tears for bluebells and thistles
Where It’s all blue and purple o’er the hills

Butterflies flying in formations
Like others do their murmurations
Delights on the wings in circulation
Shed tears
My dear
For the sheer awe of nature’s sublimations

It could be a heart warming melody
Or a blues song with melancholy
Or poetry with all its beauty
Even in grief their can be
celebration of life solemnly
But joyous tears are the best of them all
In all their purity.
Shed your tears
My dear
for the awesome wonders
of Mother Nature in all its glory.
