Nature’s Majesty

 

Exquisite be thine masterpiece

      on canvas here before me

Thine changing light

      framed in my bedroom window

Nature’s artistry encompasses my essence

Changing brush strokes with each passing minute!

What miracle of miracles to behold

Taking no pay for its work

      it is freely given for all to delight

Thy earthy hues of violet-gold

Blending up to mauve and peach

Peak thine strokes in blue and yellow

Then reverse thine strokes to return to darkness

Even in the blackness of night

      think not that all is gone

      for ’tis here

      hidden within the womb

      that new days are reborn

Working throughout thine night

We are not alone

 

Nature’s majesty do I behold

      we bow before thine greatness

The artist teacher

Mankind’s healer

Has lessons for us all

Take time to hear nature’s call

      ’tis free to the open minded

Give thanks to thy mother of all

      in work, in deed, in respect

Each one of us can do our part

      to keep the environment a masterpiece
