Boitsfort - a Moment Captured!

The wind sends ripples through the trees
Disturbing briefly nature's frieze
The Impressionists caught scenes like these
In dappled paint
Frail petals shiver as it passes
Swirling through the dancing grasses
After the mugginess – catharsis
God's touch is faint.

The lake with sparkles greets the sun
Nature's diamonds every one
Kingfisher - sapphire on the run
A palette new
A kaleidoscope before my eyes
Clouds in movement on the rise
Complete with soundtrack of bird cries
A poet's cue!
