RADIANCE

Stately trees stand straight and silent
Quite and unmoving
Serenity prevails,
Morning breeze gently impressive in its quite presence-

Nature’s gallery in all its splendour,
Splendour of profuse beauty blooming
From bough to ground a quite animated activity
Gentle wind a stillness becalming-

Early birds flutter soundlessly,
Clambering dash of a squirrel
Sudden flurry of a rabbit,
A hedgehog makes its stand, defiant and unmoving-

Misty grass bearing perfect crystalline orbs
Dewy droplets catching brilliant flashes of light dispersed
Beauty captured in momentarily universes
Worlds beyond comprehension, momentarily defined-

Over silent slack of lugubrious lake’s water
Placid tranquillity unruffled, of
Gentle unperturbed peace, serene
As though wakening slowly-

Bouncing reflected light
Of early morning sun
Awakening day’s first golden rays,
Touching fire of renewed existence-

II

Light misty clouds of early morning dew
Swirl gently up
Phantasmagoria of departing forms
Fading into ancient woods-

Yellow spring sun
Embracing misty spirals
Breath of knobbly, ancient wood
Nature’s pristine purity-

The sun dance radiance shimmering
Sparkles of golden light
Flashing in spectacular beauty
Leaping off these dark moribund lake-

Solacing soft murmur of water
Lapping pebbly banks
Gentle slosh of water sanative
Gratifying gift of Creator's mind beyond reach-
