Nature's Beauty

Hear the rough wind

blowing leaves from swaying branches.

Frogs croak softly in the rippled pond.

As I walk closer, silence.

Grey clouds drift slowly

across the afternoon sky.

I imagine dragons swimming

through a thick fluffy ocean.

Soft rain drip, drip, drips

onto the thirsty trees. 

Speedy cars zoom by,

leaving slashes of water 

that skid along the road.

Birds fly gracefully from tree to tree.

Hear them tweeting sweetly.

This is a place of peace and relaxation.

A ray of sunshine peeks

through the vanishing clouds, 

and we're happy.
