Connecting the River Bends
We were two souls separated by a wide river,
and to cut the distance we needed to build
a footbridge enhancing the green landscape;
that would have been our wonderful dream
to meet on the wooden bridge and watch
each evening a rose-tinted sunset so unique!
And the hummingbirds would come to build
their nests in the ever-green shrubs and bushes,
dandelions and daises would grow on each bend;
gorgeous butterflies lured by them would float
on the whitest cherry trees that bees would love
by greeting spring with their intense scent dispersing!
Even night would seem more realistic to the eyes,
there would be stars and fireflies; Earth would become
a scintillating scene which would have nothing to envy
the endless Heavens so distant and fading from view...
as the glowing sunrise would turn into a refulgent light
showing once again the walkaway of the footbridge!
Then a multitude of larks would take flight shrilling,
we would look up and see how happy they are!
When Man protects Nature and embellishes it,
true harmony is heard in mountains, hills and valleys,
no creature needs to fear anything, but roam freely;
and us enthralled by this vision, walk home serenely.
