Natures Gift. Poem by Dave James

May I stay awhile with you?
May I walk your narrow tracks
That meander across your back
Like a spiders web on dewy mornings.

May I stay awhile with you?
Among the freshest air and flowing grass?
Such beauty never matched
yet always to yourself so true

The flowing stream that cuts a dash
Crystal clear and ice cold too
meanders down your very spine
Bringing life to all that share your beauty.

For upon this crest of natures very soul
My every sense is teased and caressed
From mighty oaks that stand on guard
Aloft the fern that sways to scented summers breeze

So here I am. I will stay awhile
Upon this mountain top that holds my heart
Stare into the abyss that is nature at her best
For none is richer than I today...
