Nature At Work

I  once  visited  a  garden  which  was  almost  picture  perfect.  Nothing  moved  or  stirred. Pin drop  silence  prevailed.  As  I  moved  from  tree  to  tree  I  felt  Nature  working  ceaselessly  to  maintain  herself  as  if  for  the  next  day's  show.  I  marvelled  at  this  thought  and  almost  said  aloud------

                  Time  stands  still.

                  This  evening

                  On  the  banks  of  Lake  Solitude .

                  Silence  comes  on  tip-toe  .

                  In  this  garden  of  Eden

                  Beautiful  but  deadly .

                  Sh!  Touch  nothing

                  Nature  is  at  work  within.

                   Weaving  patterns

                   That  change  from

                   Form  to  form

                   Colour  to  colour .

                   The  grass  and  the  trees

                   The  lake  and  the  breeze

                    Secretly  sharing

                    Giving  and  taking

                     In  strange  unison.

                     Did  time  stand  still  ?

  1. That's a beautiful poetic description. Which garden was this? It will help readers to know where this place is located. Looking forward to more articles.
