Nature's Reflections

All around me the opportunity
for reflection abounds
The lake waters reflecting the rich landscape
I delight in making the rounds!

Rains have contributed to lush green growth
Earthy smells emanate from the forest
Does this mirror change within me
Which is right around the corner?

Plunging into the cool waters

At the beach on any given day

I experience relief and renewal
Summer warmth, I want you to stay!

For here I am presented with so many surprises

Twelve loons greeted me the other day
Mother duck and her ducklings

Make their home in the bay.

Nature's cornucopia

Pours forth rich garden crops

To remind us we are on planet earth

Mosquitoes never stop!

So what do these life giving scenes reflect

Of the person I am right now?

Is this awareness

Something I will allow?

With a grateful heart for this Paradise

I cannot help but see

That the exquisite beauty in Mother Earth

Is a reflection of the infinite beauty in everyone

Endless creativity in you and me!
