As I sit on the porch

I can’t find the words

To adequately describe 

The marvelousness of nature

Trees as tall as skyscrapers 

Wind ticking the leaves

Sunlight glistening on spiderwebs

Ladybugs parachuting on leaves

Birds orchestrating symphonies 

Petals ruffling like skirts

Butterflies playing tag

They are all sending a message

Communicating to the world

That there’s more to life

Than work, cars, money

If only we stop to notice
