NATURAL ELEMENTS
I love the sway of the trees,
the intricate lines in a leaf,
the brand new bud of a lovely
flower.
Hundreds of tiny grains of
sand on the beach,
An abandoned birds' nest
on the ground,
Pine cones scattered by
the squirrels,
Locust shells perched
perfectly on a tree's bark,
A cricket's immutable songs
in the night.
I love the wash of a gentle
rain,
The musty smell of a forest
ground,
Leaves changing colors
in the fall.
Birds gathering on the
ground searching for
an evening meal,
Shells left behind
in the tide.
I love the artistic gnarling
twists of a tree trunk,
Acorns perfect in form,
Dark soil of a garden,
Butterflies flitting from
bloom to bloom,
Bumble bees buzzing
around the crepe myrtle.
I watch in admiration,
in awe, in appreciation
of such a magnificent Creator
and Artist who created all
of these things.

The water flows gently, bubbling and humming its
