Quite Naturally for friend Cyntax

Poem in rhyming quatrains

 

 

 Quite Naturally!!

 

My garden is a wilderness.

Devoid of all formality

 but full of beauty nonetheless.

There everything grows naturally.

 

Self seeded plants grow where the please

 with trees and shrubs placed randomly.

A haunt of butterflies and bees

and fairies too quite probably.

 

I do not choose to interfere

with what nature decides to do

She knows what plants will flourish here

but always subject to review.

 

She is a master gardener

superior to any man.

It is entirely up to her

to carry out her master plan.

 

There’s nothing that I need to do.

Nature supplies the maintenance.

As seasons change so does the view.

Always kept in perfect balance.

 

The only thing which I supply

 are garden seats of weathered wood.

Chosen to blend in carefully

 as I intended that they should.

 

Somewhere to sit and meditate

or if you choose, to read or write.

 And sometimes if the hour grows late.

Enjoy the quiet of the night.

 

My garden is a wilderness

 devoid of all formality.

Not the result of laziness

I leave it how it wants to be

I appreciate the ode, my friend! It's nice to see you entertain rhyme. You did a great job.

As with most of the philiosophy you express, I totally agree with your outlook on life here.

Nature will do as it may. Our only choice is to observe and enjoy what we can while it's still in existence.

Well-penned and I'm happy to have inspired new material!
