Moss creeps up the tree bark,
Petals flutter to the ground
Seeds break out of their shells beneath soil
Lush plants sprout in their wake
Rays of sunlight splinter through thick leaves
Puddles of water sparkle
Bees flutter and pollinate from plant to plant
Squirrels chatter
Scale thin branches like acrobats
Birds chirp from their nests high above
Their hatchlings opening their eyes
For the first time
You close your eyes
And listen to the leaves swaying
The breeze whistling
And the quiet peace of the grove.
You feel the sun rays on your skin
Basking in its heat and energy
Humid greenery pressing
Tall grass tickling your ankles
Months later winter will come again
Life will sleep
The cycle continues.
