Nature At Work


Gusting,swirling, heavy winds blow in from the sea,
bending, crunching trunks and leaves of the Cypress trees

There are sights along the highway
where the trees bend and sway
creating an arch as the limbs reach out to play.

The pine trees are many, all of different names
With cones shaped round or long, dangling in the rain

The Redwoods stand so proud and tall,
they reach up to the sky
forming trees of mystery
with a ride above them all.

Two Lane Roads

Gray,black,pebble and tarred,
two lane roads carry us far.
Redwood trees so very tall
Humbug Mountain, eerie walls

Waterfalls trickling down the side
two lane roads not very wide

Fog and mist along the way
shadowy figures on display
teeming rain, honking horns,
tiny sheep newly born.

Farmer's fences, cows inside,
torrential rains and winds abide
Mountains high and far away
hillsides close with trees that sway
two lane curves to the sea below
crashing waves and undertow

Gray, black, pebbled and tarred
two lanes of road
carry us far
