Atlantis

By Ivor Steven.

 

Nature’s abundant history
Bounces forth in front of our eyes
The view is silently stunning
Nature’s assets keep running
Our hearts keep drumming
In tune with nature’s humming

Gently step into her ocean surf
For beneath the waves lays her sodden turf
The Atlantis carpet of ancestral bones
Remnants of ruined millennia covered in fallen moonstones
Nature’s guiding lodestones waiting to be atoned

    Raises a few questions or queries, which poems should do as we all read them differently. Over the next wine I reckon!
