Rippling blue, sky's reflection, <br />Sea and river, winds direction. <br />Water lapping, briskly flowing, <br />Twinkling facets, motion growing. <br />Sunshine glinting, sparkling array, <br />Shining sunbeams, jewelled ballet. <br /> <br />Waves disturbing, turning grey, <br />Lightning flashes, sparks ricochet. <br />Gloom descending, thunder cracks, <br />Whipping twister, storm attacks. <br />Lashing downpour, terror felt, <br />Endless tumult, hailstones pelt. <br /> <br />Calmness gathers, squall complies, <br />Raindrops ceasing, uproar dies. <br />Gentle breezes, warming air, <br />Peaceful nature, silence rare. <br />Azure welkin, zephyr caressed, <br />Abundant freshness, paradise blessed. <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paradise-blessed/
