Beautiful Nature in Verses 1: "Leave the road, take the trails." —Pythagoras

Beautiful Nature in Verses 1
"Leave the road, take the trails." —Pythagoras

Dr Abe V Rotor

A Snail on a Flower

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
