As we danced in the garden

Mother Nature shares every mood

She tells us when she is angry

She tells us when she is sad

She tells us when she is happy

 

What she never shares is why

Why she screams

Why she cries

Why she shines

 

We experience her every mood

Her vibrating screams

Her icicle heart

Her burning desires

 

Her secrets are her own

We seek to discover

What makes her tick

What makes her live

 

We discover only what she wants us to know

Shrouded in mystery

Shrouded in emotions

That cannot be foretold

 

She teases us with her quick

Changing emotions that

Toy with our hopes

And our dreams

 

Today she is hot

Burning with desire

Promising days of

Joyous play

 

We frolic in her

Rays of light

We dance in the garden

Overjoyed with new life

 

We sleep and dream

Of pansies and strawberries

Of the delightful days

We will spend in her warmth

 

When we awake

she is cold

Heart of ice

Breaking her promise

 

Taking shelter from pain

We weep and pray

For the end of her

Bitter betrayal

 

She promised us

Joyous play

And renewal of life

As we danced in the garden

 

She betrayed us all

And instead of new life

She brought us

Death

I really like this poem, it's very interesting and it really sucks the reader into the poem. The word choice was done very well, and it flows very nicely. I also like how most of the poem was about the joy of nature, and how it changed into death and sorrow at the end. Wonderful write. :)
