Beautiful Nature in Verses 2 : "The best and most beautiful things in the world ... must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

 Beautiful Nature in Verses 2

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart." 
- Helen Keller

After the Rain

Raindrops roll like a tear,
Sinking deep to cause a stir,
The fishes rise from their lair
To greet the freshened air.

"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus 
to see the light." - Aristotle

By the Pond

Tell me your throes, 
Worries and woes,
And to the fishes
Your wistful wishes.

Bougainvillea

Pure and dainty you seem to be, 
Your petals I see are for the bee;
In pure mimicry you send a spray,
Of short-lived fragrantless bouquet.
  
Nymphaea

White lilies all in a row,
Bathed in mist to the brow,
And kissed by the jolly bee,
The morning sun and Thee.

Lady Gardener

 You harvest what you now sow,
Blest by the sun, friend of the bee
To kiss the sweat on your brow,
And bring fruit to your hobby.

"Whoever is happy will make others happy too." - Anne Frank
