Natures Wonderland--By Leokadia Durmaj--Australia

Natures Wonderland

I feel my soul gliding across the land;
Like the wind its spirit held within,
Majestically it expands its wings ~
Seeking to embrace this gentle wind.
Courageous hearts so filled with love,
Echoing sounds as they soar above.

A moment of peace as night befalls,
Nature protecting what belongs to all.
This earth is their sacred place of peace,
The air and sea are life’s necessities.
The wilderness demands our purest breed,
Protecting, nurturing all nature to co-exist.

I see mountains covered with snow,
With wisdom comes respect for the tallest of all.
As spirits glide with gentleness and pride ~
Descending, etching their path along the way,
Leaving shadows of their footprints behind,
Reverence for this land must always remain.

  1. Dear Leokadia,

    All we humans should leave behind are our footprints. If we don't take measures now to stop pollution and destruction of vital rain forests, I fear generations that follow us will not enjoy the beauty of nature that we see now.

    Your poem is well written and thought provoking -- the best a poet can hope to achieve. Excellent!

    Love,
    Carolyn

  4. Dear Leokadia, another beautiful and well written poem. I always enjoy your poems. Your love for nature is evident. All we can do to preserve her beauty through writing such picturesque words, like you have done, leaves with all of us a greater appreciation for what God has created and a desire to take care of all He has so graciously bestowed upon us. Thank you for sharing with us once again your talent.
    Love, Charlene
