Sunlight filtering through tall pines
Dark green leaves moist wet with dew
Shrill cries of hunting birds seeking food
Lively commotion in the dense green wood
Sound of the waterfall yonder
Sparkling energetic water gushing down
Tiny bright flowers dotting the landscape
Hiding awhile behind nature's bountiful cape
Lying down comfy beneath a pine tree
On the dewy grass the soul feels free
Ants will pester and bite the weary body
Jolted back to reality; again a nobody
Brushing off the ants from the body
Sitting up and strolling mindlessly
Looking for the truth; the cause of such wonders
But he chose to return ; he was no butterfly !
