Golden rays of sun filtering through the trees
Dew drops dripping off the foliage
Pungent aroma of blooming flowers in the air
Took a deep breath of natures perfume, shivered some
As the beauty of it all registered with me
A touch of fall in the air
Slightest hint of a chill
Leaves were beginning to turn
Different colors, gold, red, yellow and brown
Gray stonewall encircled all around
Made me feel safe and secure

As I sat there taking it all in
It occurred to me what an awesome world in which we live
Oh sure, there are blights upon the land
But if we just look, great beauty abounds
The animals, birds, flowers, the little critters, the butterflies
What is the source of it all?
The interrelatedness of one life form to another
The interdependent nature of things
It struck me, the awesome responsibility for stewardship of this resource
Falls upon the God created creature known as man
What we do or don't in management of this land
Will have everlasting affects upon the quality of our environment
The fight against greed, exploitation, and corruption
A battle that must be won
Which means we must stick together
As the watch guards of His Holy Creation [comments] => 4 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 27 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

Inspiring words,
holding deep truths within.

The first stanza is vivid and imaginative.
Creates a lovely atmosphere.
And the second part is quite profound.
I only feel that the second part needs more refinement, in terms of composition.

But, all in all, the theme behind this is excellent. And it's brought out well.
Hope to read more of your work...

Sometimes, we never realize what we do actually have...
This is a beautiful world, if we look in the right places.
The images in this poem show those places.

This is a gorgeous write my friend,
I'll keep reading,
*hugs* Phil xxx

Bravo!!!
Now if only evryone would think like this!!!
Nice transition from the beauty into the lesson. I might have thrown in another line or two to remind the reader of the beauty, but to each their own, this is a fine piece of work!!

Your reflection of nature in this is wonderful. I feel presence no where else as much as in nature's beauty - one of the reasons why I had to get to a place where I could look out on it more easily. It *is* an awesome responsibility, to care for, not conquer.
Lovely write.
