Something Amazing

A flame set off in the sky,

Trees swaying in the distance. 

Plants rise up to the mountains  

far beyond any human reach. 

Bird’s wings flap like a soft mellow string on a guitar. 

Leaves float to the ground like snowflakes,

On a cold winter night.

All I  hear is the sound of a slow heartbeat

In the trunk of a hollow tree.

I slowly walk along a small path of dust.

In the corner of my eye

I spy something amazing.

The night forest comes alive

Hundreds of creatures

Scurrying by.

It is a sight to behold.

I could stare at it for hours,

But it is getting late. 

Tomorrow I will come back,

To be one with nature once again.
