Thunder booms across grey heavens gravid
With ponderous clouds of fecundity.
Radiant rays shine forth, oh so languid,
Warm the cold heart of winter with rapidity.
An avian choral serenade erupts joyously.
A new day dawns in glory, majestic in its birth.
Vibrant breezes wake up the trees playfully.
Leaves drift lazily down, gladly greet Mother Earth.
Over the cliff cascades deafening waterfalls,
Send up plumes of white mist, sprays of water.
From the forest, a vixen for her mate calls.
A mother bear grooms her single daughter.
Look upon this pastoral scene, my sad friend:
Let it your aching heart, lonely soul mend!
