Aweturesque
The Ability To Find Beauty In The Simple Things
Misty, dew dropped windows, laced like curtains in the breeze
Mother nature's decor, seasons dressed, with sights to please
Colors of the rainbow, cover the ground, from weeping trees
Dappled all around, like it was made for me to see
The soothing sounds of singing birds, nestled safely in the trees
The scent of sweet magnolias or the trickling of a stream
The feeling, difficult to pinpoint, to describe it, hard, I guess
The word that comes to mind to say it all, is Aweturesque
The awe of what we see, in all their beauty, picturesque
What we are privy to receive, is about as good, as good can get
If you think you've seen it all, nature says, "baby, you ain't seen nothing yet"
And then, she sets a scene, you've never seen, and ne'er forget
The carving of the rocks, with the gentle force of water
The great and mighty shark, and the timid, playful otter
When the clouds begin to form, bringing the showers in the spring
The mighty rumble in the air, when the thunder starts to ring
Sun rays piercing through the clouds, exposing us to heaven
The savage ways of life, survival, teaching us a lesson
The grizzly strong and fierce to the fawn at her first steps
Nature pulls it all together, in an uninterrupted tete-e tete
And just when you believe that you can scarcely take it in
She blinks and just like that, she repeats it all again

You painted such a beautiful picture here! I loved it!
Great word and beautiful picture
This reminds me of the introduction to the nature shows that 'The Wonderful World of Disney' program back in the 70's.
Nice job, and creative meaning.
This should be a real word.
Brilliant work
