Nature's Wonders

Once and always will be a lovely place
Stuck in this world's twilight
showing from the skylight
Melodies in my mind ablaze

Wondrous things, irreplaceable
Glamorous, undeniable
Lunar beauty, what a view
The starry sky is dark venetian blue

Lovely balmy breeze
Freshest air from this green balcony
Fluttering autumn leaves
Fragrance with a hint of climbing ivy

In front of me, a ponderosa canopy
With ruby red planks of mahogany
Never leave this scene, so pretty

A city sparkles in the night
How'd it get so bright?
Flying on the wing, no fright
What a sight!
