I encourage you to notice these simple things of nature. Nature... is life.


As Night Approaches

A steady shower of raindrops
fall gently
on the snowcapped tops of mountains.
Shimmering drops of dew
clothe the buttercups,
glittering in reflection
of the setting sun in the east.
A blue jay settles in its nest,
eyes gently closing
as it drifts off to a faraway land.
A red fox burrows in its den
watching
for any sign of a feast,
its yellow eyes
glimmering sharply in the darkness.
The moon appears
with the howls of coyotes,
crying out by the waterfall,
which is joining the bright circle in the sky
with a trancing touch of magic...
As night approaches.
