This is the spot I like to sit
and watch the bees at work 
this mere is the spot I take my rest
reflect on the mysteries of life’s cirque
to see the flowers pollinated 
to see the caterpillar form and eat
to watch the chrysalis deliver
the pretty butterfly to floral seat
to watch the autumn turn green cloaking
to dusky yellow, reds and browns
before stripping bare and thus exposing 
woody boughs for next years round
and in spring I observe the flourishing
of vivid sprouts and blooms from sleep 
when they give energy nourishing
to new growth it fills me, replete
in knowing summer will again warm me
in this spot at nature's feet
