Beauty
by Tygeriant Talbott
Right before my eyes lies so much beauty
Red, orange, brown, greens re the color of autumn leaves
Many colors lie in the bridge that hold me
As I listening to the smooth calming breeze
I see all the true beauty that Nature hold
Even though many time it can be harsh and cold
Nature is true beauty
Not beauty authentic made by man or me
But the real thing
Right before my eyes lies so much beauty
by Kris Johnson
I watched Nature unwrap itself to me
I watched the sun stream down like colorful ribbons
I felt the ribbons pull beneath my skin igniting my inner glow.
The earthy and leafy smells climbed through my nose to the back of my head.
Followed by the smell of salty waters. Creating an eerie stench.
Spiders plunged from the adhesive spider webs that clinged to my face.
And I could see through them
Toward the glistening reflection of the sun on the water
I watched Nature unwrap it's gift to me.
by Michael Williams
The taste of fresh and salty water with the smell I smell
Just inspiring to the soul freeing the body and mind
Nature with so many things to see
It reminds me of so many things I want to be. |
