Beautiful Nature in Verses 1
"Leave the road, take the trails." —Pythagoras
Dr Abe V Rotor
Obscure in the deep you've been,
Now perched on a petal to be seen,
To share the beauty of your host,
And beauty itself the cost.
Bird's Nest Fern
Clothe your host with gown,
Huddle her in comfort and love
With a rosette of frond her crown
To catch the cloud above.
Lotus
I greeted you one morning,
As I saw your face smiling,
Let me kiss your fragrance,
That I can go into a trance
Of contented forgetfulness
From ephemeral greatness.
Under the Shade
Too little a shade for too many
A fine lass hugging the mast,
So little care, or rain if any,
Before the storm's final blast.
Silhouette
Now you have nothing to boast about,
Rise from your burden and cry out,
Open your arms and bare your heart,
Grow the buds for new life to start.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where
there is no path and leave a trail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
