Nature's Faces
The trees sway to the dance of the wind
Lightening strikes and crawls the skin
From the graves, the spirits do wallow
fuming against nature and what is to follow.
The owl hoots it's melody
screeching off a bat it had for company
unperturbed by nature's rampage,
Sizzling along in its heinous carnage.
The hedgehog reposes in gloom
Mystified by nature's pending doom
forgetting the gnawing of hunger
it's only concern, to brave the thunder.
The Down finally unravels
Pausing the fierce side of nature's travels,
Spitting out the cherished rays
and exciting the birds to whistle in many ways.
The hedgehog emerges in high fettle
Nudging off the droplets from its bristle
basking in the glory of sunlight
and running hither thither in delight.
Fallen trees tell yesterday's pitiable story
But today's rays depicts another glory
and while the Owl may sleep on different places,
the hedgehog is still oblivious of nature's faces
