Nature's Call

Blades
rising
from the earth’s
carpet of green
grass.

Vines
clinging
young tendrils
gently trailing
down.

Trees
form a
canopy
hiding the sun’s
rays.

Cat’s
soft paws
do deceive
hiding their sharp
claws.


Stars
gaze down
towards earth
radiating
light.


Rain
droplets
fall softly
watering the
earth.

Bird
winging
in the sky,
as a feather,
glides.

Earth
rotates
as the sun
brightly shines down
light.
