Poetry: A gentle touch

by Dante de Miura

Created on: April 04, 2009   Last Updated: April 05, 2009

Think birds for a moment, then blue skies and lakes,
Think rivers and steams and all that God makes

Think caribou, elk and forests and trees,
Think lizards and lemurs and berries and bees.

See green and blue and red perfectly placed,
See yellow and violet with which we've been graced.

I revel in warmth and in sunlight I bathe,
Yet the cool Autumn eve is still a top fave.

I marvel at sunsets, at sunrise I grin,
I love seeing this beautiful world I am in.

Each day brings a photo, a sculpture a painting,
It's gone at day's end but tomorrow the same thing.

Don't know what to say, but I do know this much,
That nothing is sweeter than God's own gentle touch.
