Nature In Paradise

As I walk this storied path,

The greenery is an amazing goliath,

Creepers and herbs so very abundant,

Thy bloom's hue an opaque candicant.

~*~

Wildlife is amassed over this scene,

Some of them endangered, no it's not a dream.

There's a family of ducks and rambunctious fowl,

Their nests hidden from the great horned owl.

~*~

The green serpent climbing the trees,

Slithers past a nest of honey bees,

Perched among the foliage,

Its camouflage appearance is an archimage.

~*~

As I step across the trail,

The sound frightens a flock of nested Common Quail,

Their flight feels me with bepraise,

As I gaze at all this Nature In Paradise.
