My nature home

Pouring out of fading twilight fireflies are by night my bedroom light

To awake in morning light to serenading birds alight

Hummingbirds pass through my room, wings dispelling night's gloom

At an early hour, in the shower they perch on my towel in costume of plume

Watching me dress they sit upon my windowsill, quiet and still, awaiting a caress

In chorus all day they chirp and pray, home and land to bless

A kaleidoscope of colors, in sunny weather rainbows of feather on display

Showers of butterfly confetti form a winged jetty and in waves of the breeze play

In morning haze, golden sprays of wild orchids blooming on trees and rocks

Where grow ever so slow moving purple shadows as time's only clocks

A symphony of frogs, dancers of the bogs, become drums and a snare

They're accompanied by crickets in the thickets filling the jasmine perfumed night air
