A poem about nature by David Tombale: Nature's children

Nature's children is a series of images both imagined and experienced that I wrote on a day of silence as I tried my best to smell the flowers and enjoy the warmth of a beautiful summer's day.
Nature's children

There is a change that flirts with the
sunshine upon the leaves,
that whispers little condolences to the air,
that comes upon the clearings with
all the maturity of a child

It is gay and sweet and loves
to hide in the cool shadows that
rest among the trees

It teases winter and
has love affairs with the springtime flowers
that blossom beneath the loving care of
kindly mothers of blue and red and black,
a kaleidoscope of color born out of their wings
as they sail out on the sky

I sit in awe beside the graves of
fallen fathers and smiling lovers
as we, one and all enjoy the splendor
that welcomes the living and
the dead.
