Night

When every colour turns to brown
When every leaf is on the ground
When clouds obscure once starry skies
We know that our friend Autumn dies

The wretched cold and ceaseless rain
The callous wind that roars in pain
The sun and birds retreat in fright
For this is the unending night.

Autumn, How I Love You

Autumn, how I love you
With your colourful display
Your leaves rustling softly
As the summer drifts away

Autumn, how I love you
With the crispness of your touch
Your dew settling lightly
On our spider webs and such

Autumn, how I love you,
How your beauty fills my soul
Your soft sun sparkles everywhere
I stand here, breathe, am whole.

The English Year

When it’s springtime,
The wildlife bounds while
The sun takes a peek at the new day.
The pink sky is decorated with rainbows,
The daffodils pop up with the buttercups,
A refreshing breeze passes through the fresh, green land.

When it’s summer,
The sun strolls along the diamond water and
The colours cry ‘Good Day!’
To every one who passes.
The watermelon is red and juicy,
A wave of sunshine comes tumbling around us.

When it’s autumn,
Nature is an inspiration.
The oranges and browns bring a welcome change,
The squirrels bury acorns of green and yellow,
Trees start donating leaves to mice and hedgehogs for hibernation.

In the winter season,
The animals snuggle up
Ready for the New Year,
Footsteps munch away at the crisp, new snow while
Old mister redbreast hops around.
The cobwebs are decorated for the coming celebrations.

Every single year,
All theses changes around us,
Animals, plants, weather.
But always it keeps going on
And always there’s a fresh new way
To admire the earth and sky,
In this world where nature soars

Reincarnation

I would like to be a giant tortoise,
Moving slowly through the giant world.
Money, work and stresses not a problem,
Living for a hundred years or more.

Patterned shell upon my back not heavy,
Lots of grass ahead of me to eat.
Quiet in the morning dew-drops twinkle
Sunshine brings a cheerful melody

I would like to be a giant tortoise,
Moving slowly through the giant world.
Watching as each day rises to greet me
Calmly waiting for it to unfurl.
