Seasonal changes bring new things |
While the grand rooster crows To greet each new dawn The hens are clucking and cackling As they gossip about the yard And the chicks cheep and chirp Shaking out their fluffy feathers Barely churning up the dirt As each day brings new changes The wild boar go hog wild Among the trees and foliage Rabbits nibble on fresh strawberries Hanging on a gardener's bush The turkeys roam and wander With their usual saunter Not caring what they’re blocking Be it beast or man’s machines Faries dance among the freshest of blooms Taking joy in the world's renewal As they twirl around the proud antlers Of the strong buck, the wise elk, and the mighty moose While the honeybees buzz about their work Among the wildflowers and trees And all the woodland critters, young and old, Gather berries from beneath the leaves Scrawny saplings freed from an icy grasp And finally given room to grow To spread out root and branch Into steady birch and mighty oak While they learn the soaring songs of the birds The gentle caress of the breeze And the tapping steps of a rain shower In the dawn's pale, cloudless light As the old melts gently away And the new rise to meet the sun Changes come with each new day As dandelion dreams are carried on the wind Taken through ancient forests now awakened Across fresh, swaying fields renewed Along long mountain paths now unblocked To far away places that can only be seen in dreams |
