life is just a breath

Peaks of emerald green 
Visions so serene 
Sunsets lighting valleys 
Like they are on fire 
Trees sway in the breeze 
The wind slips, caressing leaves 
Weaving through perm- tanned branches 
Always moving, never tires

Blossom in full flow
Branches bearing fruit 
Trees now changing, 
most wear a different suit 
from a bulb to flower 
brightly coloured they empower 
embodied in feminism 
they smell better by the hour 

lemon drizzle, purples pop and fizzle 
blue bells jingle as they catch the breeze 
dragon snap as finger temp to feed 
fairy babies they take flight 
with a blow to fill delight 
taking flight, they fill the sky 
to who knows where, who really cares 
for the spectacle has passed, 
for who knows how long their flight will last? 

roses red in flower beds,
 daffs now blossom now water fed 
tulips line up in a row 
daisies picked and linked in chain 
tongues out to catch the morning rain 
emerald soldiers stand up tall
black top hat they go to war 
standing in defying formation, 
never moving, never straying, 
always ready on rotation 
as the wind blows causing separation

waterlilies, ghostly white 
on rippled water they dance at night 
under light of cool moonlight
even better in sunlight 
reflections dance and shimmer 
crickets chirp, birthing new beginners 
in the grass, they rub hind legs 
like a bow to a violin

life is just a breath, breathe it in 
let nature in
