Imitation of Nature by Lois Perch Villemaire

Mother Nature paints

with an expert brush,

primary colors are her specialty, 

we can only try to imitate the hues,

she has mastered the art, 

creating infinite reflections, 

vibrant and deep,

with warmth and softness,

inviting a closer look,

to explore our version of peace.
