Earth Song
Come walk with me and I’ll sing to you
Of the shame of naked trees
The hope of pussy-willows
As they hear spring in the breeze
Behold the fickleness of clouds
and the arrogance of crows
Feel the deviousness of mud
and the misery of a rose
As summer matures we’ll taste and see
the pungency of beaches
Persistence of the violets
and the dishonesty of peaches
From spring through summer and ‘round again
Earth’s choir sings its song
Come walk with me and feel the refrain
and we both can sing along

Thank you! Things are still pretty dead and gray here, but today the sun was shining, and that's something....

Awesome! I hadn't really thought of it as dark, but when I looked again I realized most of the descriptors are a bit negative. Nature is full of mystery....
Thanks for the love!

K ...you've captured Nature in it's purity!
well we all admire Nature for its beauty and all..and tend to be kinda biased when depicting the imagery leaving out the side which we don't focus on... i mean yes there is abundant beauty in nature... and there is danger associated.. coming back to the point... most of us just capture (i say sub-conscious bias) and deliver the pretty aspects of it... but you have done what a photograph does...captures the beauty, truth, raw... it is beautiful... Nature as they say is neither your friend, nor your enemy ..it just is! and when it is snapped in words like this... the true imagery.. this is art, gorgeous art.

I tend to personify everything, which leaves room for complex characters. Like, peaches that look sweet and juicy but aren't.... they're just damn liars! Every time! (It's a struggle of living in a colder climate I guess....)

if we're still enough, quiet enough, we can hear her song
