Sunlight's Gleam

I saw a lonely sunlight gleam,
Gliding over a slow moving stream.
Two dragonflies in joyful flight,
What an entrancing, exotic sight.
Minnows swimming, darting here and there,
Daring me their water home to share.
A kingfisher perched ready to dive,
With colourful feathers so much alive.
Take it all in there is no need to dash,
See the hazel bushes and the ash.
Strewn the banks with lovely green,
Something that just must be seen.
Butterflies flying here and there,
as if wanting with me to share.
Once again nature is supreme,
this is true not just a dream.
I sit for hours to take it all in,
For me a part of my worldly win.
Sunlight glides over a slow moving stream.
Not just a part of a wonderful dream.
