Where Flowers Sleep
By Tully B

In the starry night, trees exhale,
leaves sing and dance in the nighttime gale.
Flowers hide behind their petals,
until the sun comes out and settles.
Soil is soft under roots and feet
but wash away when water, it meets.
Stormy clouds come grey and old
bringing rain and shivering cold.
Oceans deep come green and grey
changing, moving throughout the day.
Fish swim in schools or alone
the seas, they swim, know, and own.
Savage waves lash cliff and beach
but deserts and hills it cannot reach.
Vines climb trees, up they creep
at night they grow, while flowers sleep.
Some animals hunt day and night
others run scared in fright.
Forever here, thousands, to this day
but let them not fall astray.
