Beneath the brilliant, cloudless blue

The starling sings a song or two

A joyful chorus, across the sky

His melody, for passers by

A tune he chirps, without a care

Yet, one that makes you stop and stare

For his feathers are rich, in colors bright

A charming bird, in daytime light

Such a beautiful sight, for all to see

Sweet wonder of nature, implicitly

gondolier-2018052_960_720
I sail upon this wooden craft

Toward places yet unknown

A gondolier, upon a raft

Into the light that shone

Luminous, it beckons me

Yet the darker side is near

I know not what I really see

My vision not quite clear

What does cast its shadow

On the waters, in my boat

Will it guide me, whilst I row

Or will the moon, and I, just float

She is beautiful

In a wicked way

She makes the children smile

As they romp playfully about

She smirks as the rest

Struggle to find warmth

And nature trembles

As she snickers under her cold breath

No mercy in her icy grin

No comfort from the storm
