Birds Singing

Birds sing in the trees

As bark peels with the breeze

At night the animals sleep in peace

Quickly and quietly the trees swirl around

The stars gaze shining bright

Then say goodnight

A morning glow of sun washes over all

Plants bloom around me

Insects crawl

And lizards speed across golden sand

Leaves change colour

The hum of bees collecting pollen

Plays music in my ears

The whoosh of the breeze is perfect

It is still

The blue sky is everywhere

It’s here, it’s there, wrapping around me

I am as warm as fur

The trees are quiet now

The birds make a nest and have a rest
