Microcosm

A giant stands sentry, as old and as
regal as nature itself, its stolid presence
guarding a cornucopia of treasures
vibrant and colourful their appearance
assurance that time and life intersect
endlessly as companions of existence.
Under the vaulted blue lid of the sky
the earth below is saturated with the
light and warmth of that life-endowing
furnace of molten gold. Its issue lies
below where the forest treasury boasts
an exquisite array of flowers designed
to pleasure the landscape alongside
vegetation of glowing verdant grace
dangling their gifts of grapes and berries
nuts and apples to entice the attention
of birds, butterflies and mammals to
a feast of generous proportions, the
atmosphere enlivened by the gratitude
of birds praising nature's elements.
