mother nature is a painter
every day, she sits down at her easel
and begins to create
some days, she’s happy
clear skies, sun shining
she allows the birds to sing
and us to enjoy her work
and some days, she’s upset
heavy grey skies and rain
streaking her brush strokes
and causing life to smear
but every once in a while
she is perfect
her artists’ skies fill with purples and golds
the sun, setting on the horizon
bounces it’s last remaining light
off the water below
a photo can’t do it justice
and artists the world over
will try to recreate her work
an impossible task, a stone up a hill
for it is perfection they seek
and mother nature does so effortlessly
