Nature’s Jewel

NATURE'S JEWEL

May lazy lakes and sleepy afternoons
henceforth be province dedicate to one
whose inspiration conjurs charming tunes,
without whose presence poetry falls dumb.

Without one presence undeciphererd runes
would be the Muses and their precious weave,
without rich presence slippered pantaloons
would, peace withheld, strive restless seeking Eve.

Spray waterfalls cascading, silver pools,
with Nature's jewels begarlandèd shine through
all screens as scenes intemporal no tools
need calibrate, no engineers on cue
can raise on Earth such simple beauty rare,
nor set design on drawing-board prepare
