The mornings crisp air
A soft mist circles around
The dense forest
Different shades of green
Hear the animals calling
See the sunlight through the leaves
Sparkling patches of light
While the trees gather round
The grass sways gracefully in the breeze
Hiding all kinds of bugs
The dirt beneath
So dark and rich
The healthiest I've seen
So cool and damp
No wonder the worms thrive
Do you see the birds in the trees
Nesting oh so peacefully
So many I'm dazed
So trusting they come
Can you believe the does coming to me
Along with their newborn fawns
Big brown eyes they have
Smooth shiny coats too
Can you believe this
All of this
Natures reward for caring
A gift I will cherish I'm my heart

Withered leaves and crooked branches, Snow falls in mini avalanches. Undergrowth with paw prints scattered, Mud and rain on tree trunks splattered.

Rabbit
A rabbit in the green. White and so clean. It jumps free. And the woods where it would be. It jumps around. And it hears every sound. White and fluffy with a pink nose. It's cute and everyone knows.

See
I can see a view so grand. Just a piece of this pleasant land. A field of green and waters still. Waders fishing with their bill. Insects buzzing round a tree. Seagulls swooping, wild and free.

The rain is drumming on my roof. I try to make out some rhythm. As I always do. Some are angry. The other soothe them. I listen for a while. I get up and play a song. Chopin's.
