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
