The snow falls around her feet

The leaves dancing and follow like an escort fleet

She glides through the air too graceful to walk

her voice too pure for anyone to hear her talk

she wears a flowing gown blending in with the snow fall

she is too perfect to be witnessed by anyone at all

She walks purposefully towards the waters edge

her hazelnut eyes wander from pier to cliffs ledge

from the beauty of nature to the creation of man

she feels a sadness the likes no one can

as her home is encircled by unnatural construct

and that natural beauty is plucked

her feet reach the gentle lull of the lake

something too unique, too beautiful to be fake

she's up to her knees now.

her dress begins to moisten

the wind is silent, intent to listen

her eyes are closed now.

her waist is submerged in the beauty

she failed in her duty

to watch over the woods, the rivers, the seas

so she is gone now for no one to see

The death of mother nature.
