Listen. Tree
Your roots stretch
Through the ground
While birds nest in your leaves
And woodpecers hit your
Bark.
Listen. Ocean
The waves crash over shore
The kids scream and shout
People hunt and take your shells
Seagulls take your
Fish.
Listen. Snowflake
The wind wishes you by
As your on your journey
From the sky
People try to eat you,
But you make it safely on the
Ground
Listen. Fire
The crackling of the burn
The roar of the flame
The marshmallows you heat
On a cold winter night
People glare at your blaze
They stare with amazement
As you burn the
Wood.
Evan
