Nothing Can Compare........

Tendrils of  color dot the landscape
giving a feeling of technicolor delight
Blooms of outrageous beauty line the fields in
rows like toy soldiers  
Their stems so ramrod straight and  proud

The earth in which nature flourishes
A shade of dark ochre and as rich as treacle
Trees so tall and grown with the hardship of many years
Etched with furrowed wrinkles
in the bark that covers their solid trunks
The coat of many colors made of leaves that
drip off every branch in dancing unison and
moving with the singing breeze that flows through
every space and time

A sight to behold is this land of ours  
Nothing can compare
to how simple and true life can be
Humming sounds of insects and the rustling of distant shadows
engulfing the last rays of light that sends nature to its rest
Flowers close their weary buds and wrap leaves
around themselves like a cloak of soft woolly down

Blades of grass lay down in the gust of the night wind
fighting against the ultimate force of nature
Stars sneakily slide from behind fading clouds
to form a blanket of winking eyes that send messages to
all who bother to see
A fairytale like no other but as real as a fable can be
Big Mister Moon smiles down at the peace and serenity
that this land succumbs too in the later hours of every day
So much beauty in this land of ours and
Nothing can compare
