Reason

Hear her heart beat drumming, calling, hark the thunder crashing loudly,
Mother Earth in rhythms, calling, nature's voice is singing proudly.

Child of nature dances barefoot, sensing music all around her,
Through the embers gather black soot, spiralled seasons softly blur.

Feel the wisping breezes squalling, mistrals swirl to primal heart beat,
Romany style dirndl scrawling autumnal colours sweeping moon's feet.

Winter brings the Holly King's chill, bells are ringing new year's glory,
Yuletide feasting sharing goodwill, children's voices tell the story.

Waning, waxing year of season, nature weaving Earth in beauty,
Giving Man a ceaseless reason, care and protect her, our duty.

Vernal Senses

The first gentle kiss of sunlight,
invites my soul with its dawn ray,
to spend a while with nature's love,
wandering spring's pathways today.

Inhale the freshness after snow,
entwined with sweet floral bouquet,
from clusters of yellow found there,
wandering spring's pathways today.

Savour this first morning of growth,
that brings joy and hope as I pray,
tastes of life released from winter,
wandering spring's pathways today.

Musical serenades return,
as birds call their lovers to play,
among the budding leaves I see
wandering spring's pathways today.

Visions of sunshine saffron clouds,
cheeky daffodils wave my way,
my companions as I walk in thought,
wandering spring's pathways today.
