Nature
by Lyn Marinello

The secret of the mountains
        rests in the layers of its peaks
In the denseness of the forest;
        the peaceful quiet that it speaks
In the solitary paths
        along a flowered meadow's edge
In the moss upon the stone
        on a vista's craggy ledge
In the leaves that whisper history
        as the sunlight filters through
Upon the daintiest of daisies;
        in a single drop of morning dew
In the stillness of a snow
        as it coddles spring's new growth
Like intimate old buddies
        that keep a timeless oath
As summer shares its energy;
        abundance bathes the land
Kaleidoscopic colors
        ooze from God's autumnal hand.
