Simply Nature

Sitting aloft the naked summit
surveying the unbound beauty
right before my very eyes
that unfolds, yawning, stretching
like a ritual native dance
twisting, turning into a spectacular
unbelievable magical scenery
can take one's breath away.

So honored to have witnessed
mother nature at her very best
allows your mind to roam as free
as the eagle that soars above
this display of awesome power
that can so easily turn into
a voracious beast
making things around look
unrecognizable.

I find myself thinking
words such as
Awesome, magical, unbelievable
don't do justice to the Jurassic
a view that stretches for miles
in front of me
just to be blessed to see this display
renders me somewhat speechless at times

Mother nature and the circle of life
goes on all around us
it is up to us to see and appreciate
just what wonders
lay before our very eyes.

some sights never cease to thrill. Just over a rise on our Bowland road, just as you drop down into Lancaster, there is an incredible Panorama of Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells, especially in bright sunshine. I've seen it many times but it always seems fresh. I get the same feeling from your poem. Beautifully written. tom
