Voices of Nature

Peeping through the leaves,

Warming the branches,

The golden rays of the sun

Enlivened the Earth.

Beginning the day with a cuckoo’s song,

Soothing ears with the music of streams,

I walked past the peonies

That had stories to tell.

Of Passion, Of Suffering

Of Longing, Of Betrayal

Endless tales with boundless possibilities

Intertwined in the name of love.

I reached the seat of nature,

The golden meadows stared at me,

They had complaints to make

Of parrots that muddled them.

Mountains bellowed for me,

Woods searched for me,

They had secrets to spill

Which they were eager to instil.

With eyes full of emotion,

With a heart full of love,

With a mind full of peace,

I continued to walk……..
