Dawn in spring. A golden sun Gently sparkles In cool dew. Bird songs woven In pine needles Drift through the hills. Peace flows within The tree of life. |
A summer afternoon. The sun-baked pavement Shimmers with heat waves. A bird slowly crawls Across the ceramic sky But utters no sound. In warm shade, A dog sleeps lifelessly And time stands still. |
|
The brilliant autumn dusk. Scarlet leaves glow With the touch of fire, As geese rush past The cool flames. The crisp breeze Transports the season. A deer pauses to feel Eternity in a moment. |
Winter midnight. The silver light Of a waning moon Glistens on quiet snow. Tiny footsteps are lost In white velvet And silence. The cold softens A world asleep. |
