dell, fantasy, forest, Friday Fantasy, life, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, purity, sunlight, The Clearing, water

Bathed in Sunlight through the Trees

They sing their Songs of Mysteries

Nestled in the Forest Glen

Purity of Life Descends

Upon the Gentle Greens of earth

Drinking in of Life’s Rebirth

Fluttering Softly to the Well

Hidden in this Verdant Dell

Saving Face

The mirror lies
Reflections tell tales
Truth
But she won’t accept
The lines of her life

The cosmetic cover up
Hiding the scars
Of years gone by
Brushed on perfection
Cut with a knife

Lines and imperfections
Smoothed over
Chemical peels
Strip her past
Beauty is only skin deep

Adorning the colors
Made up for the day
Ready to take on the world
Wrinkled
The lines are too steep

Hands grip the mirrored frame
She’s afraid to break the hold
Worry and fret
Become her regret
Alas, she is just growing old

Mother Earth

beauty, earth, Earth Day, growth, life, love, mother earth, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry

She lies in the silence
Of an underground world
Skillfully Weaving, Sowing

Reaching up with quiet grace
She lifts the trodden earth
Nourishing Ground, Growing

With the touch of her hand
She’s the essence of life
Eternally Nurturing, Knowing

With beauty she feeds us
From roots underneath us
Mother Earth, Loving, Bestowing

Love Unsurpassed

She watches
From the skies above
Never does she age
Her beauty cast
Around the Earth
She is the Mother Sage

Her knowledge
Plants the seeds of life
Upon the sodded ground
And brings to glory
Our planet Earth
A message quite profound

She quenches
Ocean’s mighty thirst
For all under the sea
Schools of fish
Swim round about
Unfettered, fancy free

Calming rainbows
Adorn the sky
The storm has left at last
Mother Earth
Has nourished you
Her love is unsurpassed

Gentle waters flow

Over life’s jagged edges

Caution cast aside
