When shadows fall at the end of the day
Just before twinkling stars light up the ebony sky
The forest comes to life as nocturnal creatures
Join in merry dances to the sweet music
Of the peepers and crickets lively tunes
Vibrant melodies flutter through the trees
As the moon rises to light up the scene
Sleepy songbirds retire, but night owls awaken
After their daytime slumber in summer’s heat
For they cannot resist the feral soiree
Squirrels and racoons clap their hands
As tree gnomes and wood nymphs
Peek at them from the dense brush
Surrounding the dance floor
Where all manners of creatures have gathered
And into the night the party continues
Joyous creatures unfettered by human meddling
Enjoying their celebration of all that is sacred
In a place where life makes perfect sense
Just the way Mother Nature intended

After dusk it gets more exciting
and feral...and beautiful.
Enjoy the way you Annabel guided us
on a journey...to sense and feel...
deeper than..the wonderful scene
you greatly painted...itself.
Eloquently captivating. Isabella.

Nature's songs of creatures joyous to imagine the sounds as
your words skip into verses of the forest. Loving your bunky
in the woods and all it's wonder!!
