Lost Leaves Short Poems of Nature and Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789353538385)

'This book of short nature poems contains some hints of love poems interspersed throughout. It is difficult to have pure nature without the shortcomings and beauty of love and romance. Love has its own flower and its own patch of soil. Love, like nature, flows and changes with the seasons. Nature has existed independently of human influence since the beginning of time. It embodies the dance of leaves, the romance of sunsets, and moments spent sharing a bottle of wine by the river or lake, as well as the tranquility of a rainy day. Nature inspires dreams, yet it can also bring destruction. It reflects both beauty and pain, gazing at the moon, darkness, and stars. Nature embraces life and values the love we express in return. As humans, we celebrate the beauty of winged creatures, the animals that tread upon the ground, the lily pads, and the serene ponds. Nature creates dreams, but nature also destroys. Nature reflects both beauty and inflicts pain. Nature stares at the moon, darkness, and stars. Nature appreciates life and the love we have to offer back with admiration. As humans, we celebrate the winged creatures, the animals' feet on the ground, the Lily pads, the ponds.
