No one person can ever experience all that life has to offer. It is only through sharing - experiences, feelings, insights - that we can hope to grow beyond our own meager lifetime. Are you ready to grow today?

Poets and Nature

Fallen leaves cackle as the cool wind shy away
As Robert Frost wrote about birches bending from left and right
Robert Burns writes about a red rose and his love

In the wilderness Robert Graves found tears
As a lover wept
The west wind blew, bringing the breath of Autumn's being

On a May morning, John Milton welcomed life
As the bright morning star came dancing
Saluting for living one more day

No lover has loved the beauty of nature
Like John Masefield did
Spring grass, the soft spring rain and the old chant of the sea

Lord Byron often dreamt
Of rayless, pathless and an icy earth
Scared of darkness taking over her, the universe

Fires blazed in the heavens of Christopher Brennan
The cicada's screamed, the trees cried for help
Nature poets wept

Robert Bridges bought back the snow-capped mountains
The rivers and the trees
Among the flowers, the heavenly air

Poets wrote about the beautiful mornings
And a paradise in nature
The last leaf shall never fall!
