to give pause for reminiscences
and to take stock (sh lock and barrel)
about mein kampf in general

where I smugly wax poetic and proud

Verdant pastoral themes billow and flow

from immaculate mother Earth conception

synchronized in a symphony with terrestrial

especially at the seasonal dawn of spring tide

where multitudinous existence can be found

carving out a figurative zoological niche

in a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds galore

idyllic melodic musical sounds

artist palette of rainbow blended sights

which twin manifestations

of restorative and natural calm

assuage auditory and

visual sense pleasures respectively

serve as psychic balm

against global threat
