~Nature's Zest

 Always full to the brim with beauty              

        the glass is more than half full

              filled with nature's bounties 

   resplendent seascapes beyond compare

                  take a sip and you will hear

  sounds of sapphire oceans lapping up horizon's vistas

      sights of sun risings in explosions of awe

             moons smiling with a twinkle of the eye

                at lovers dancing on sumptuous  skies 

        flutterby's flitting their elegant wings

         the breath of ambrosia blossom kisses

               posies that whet the view

                                   & nuzzle the heart 

    

          earthy poetry of scenic esprit

                 to embrace the zest, 

      drink to your hearts desire

          as far as the eye can glean

                    wondrous virtuality abounds

    tempting blueprints of life's pure quintessence

Very well penned. I enjoyed this one immensely. As we lose ourselves in nature, it has a way of calming, comforting and bringing us to that peaceful place of existence...if we are still. Loved the imagery, especially your opening lines, so positive and uplifting. And your last lines just leaves me wanting to escape to enjoy the wondrous gift of nature.

Nature has a tendancy to do that does it not. You are more than welcome Frieda.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Nature is the best healer, a great teacher, and full of endless beauty,,, and might I say your poem, is astoundingly wondrous.

[Frieda P]

Me thinks she likes herself some vino, no? Mais oui, bien sur comme soleil d'ete en baissent la face. A very beautiful dedication to the colorful and bewildering pass-time adored by many. "drink to your hearts desire"
May you sample further "sights of sun risings in explosions of awe". Cheers. ;)

[Frieda P]

Cheers to you Astro, and ooh la la, you know what French does to moi!

Soft and airy. Why do I feel like I should be dancing in a wild flower field in a flowing dress? :)
Love this line "the breath of ambrosia blossom kisses" - makes the heart flutter and the eyes twinkle with a memory...

[Frieda P]

Perfect Sera, I'm so tickled it brought you there...

[Rita L. Sev]

And now I want to go dance on a beach at sunset... This is lovely, Frieda! I love the picture you used; capturing Mother Nature in a glass, and you have captured her in your poem.

[Frieda P]

Sounds lovely to me Rita, I'll meet you there.
