Winter's Watchful Eye
the water is frozen,
covered by shining crystal-like
fixtures sparkling in the sun ......
seen are winter-tested birds, walking
upon nature's perfect ice highway,
in search of the day's pleasures ......
at water's edge, trees stand like soldiers,
garnished by the breath of winter
known as nature's perfect icing ......
like a quill across parchment paper,
heard is the scratching sound
of the many skaters upon the ice ......
nearby homes are aloof from
smoke coming from their chimneys,
their embers like fireflies in the night ......
the sounds of laughter mark
the beautiful day that's in store
as Ole Man Winter keeps his watchful eye ..........

Treehouse In The Forest
The morning sun awakens,
and early birds begin to chirp ......
The fog has encased the treetops ......
The fog is like a blanket from
under which the sun rises its head,
bringing light and warmth to this day ......
look at the beauty of this day ......
Surreal is the view through the open
curtains that grace the windows ......
Listen to the animals in the trees
as they move about the forest,
doing what nature has intended ......
Here is a house in perfect ease,
embedded in a gift from God,
and fed with the innocence of life ......
a descent to the ground leads
to but a simple walk, rejoicing
in the day that God hath made ......
as daylight comes to an end,
an ascension to the treehouse
takes place as the sun lays its head ......
the forest becomes quiet once again ......
The curtains are drawn closed ......
at rest is the treehouse in the forest ......

A Day Under The Sun
the scent of magnolias
fill the air with freshness ......
soft is the grass beneath ......
A blanket is spread
near the water's edge and
shaded by the magnolias ......
Lunch in the fresh air is
a perfect way to spend
a beautiful day under the sun ......
waterlillies float on the lake ......
A cool, gentle breeze spreads
the scent of primrose about ......
in peaceful, regimented motion,
a mother duck and her ducklings
are enjoying an afternoon swim ......
The guardian of the night awakens
as the sun sets on the horizon,
ending a beautiful day under the sun ......
