Do butterflies note the soft beauty of blossoms
or bees watch the velvety glow on a rose
Do hummingbirds thrill at the fragrance of jasmine
do spiders love dewdrops that play in their webs?
Do squirrels rejoice at the flavor of filberts
do egrets spy cat tails arising from ponds
Do dragonflies boast of their gossamer wing spans
do turtles love hearing the waves crash on sand?
The marshes and woodlands are filled with great beauty
I walk as I wonder and ponder it all
the colors, the breezes, the birds' joyful warbling
must all play a part in creation's great plan
The secrets encircling and floating around me
I yearn to embrace and by capturing seal
when will they come forth with their magic revealing
what has for so long been well hid and concealed?
The day is now waning, the night will soon beckon
and cover the meadows in dark shadowed wrap
It will be too late then to study and reckon
the ways of fair butterflies kissing bright blooms.

A wonderful, enchanting walk by marshes and woodland, 'creations great plan'.
