16 December 2012

Leaves dance about

Swirling in a windswept ballet

Grass curling up towards the sky

Towards a more promising future

Flowers bow to the wind

Dirt packed hard into a path

Trod by many feet

While streams trail through the forest

Picking up where the path left off

And shimmering in the sunlight

That fights to get through the tangle of leaves

That sit upon trees as tall as buildings

With soft green canopies surrounding them

Brimming with life

And all of this sits just like a portrait

In my backyard!
