The Forest

Soft water flowing, cool and refreshing.
An icy gail carries leaves twirling like ballerinas colliding soundlessly with the stream.
Being carried away in its current.
The soundscape of nature, the sound of water over rocks, the fluttering of leaves, the shrill chirps of birds.
Combining into a soothing melody.
Birds glide on the wind seeing all, knowing all.
Swooping and diving.
Before heading back to their nests to teach their fledglings the way of the forest.
Once a seed, then a sapling, evergrowing to its full potential.
The clouds dance across the sky blown by the wind.
To nature the sky is the canvas and the clouds are the artists.
To nature the woodpeckers are the carpenters
To nature the fungi are the recyclers
In nature, life is thriving in the most unexpected places and there is a surprise around every corner.
In nature the sky's the limit!
