sunbeams

    play tag with the shadows running along the ground

leaves

    dance high above putting on a show for the bluest of skies

the pitter patter of tiny paws,

the calls of winged creatures,

and the drumbeats of hooves,

all add to the wild, stringless symphony

responsibilities and the weight of the world run for the tumbling hills

bright berries and wispy wildflowers

grow to paint the expansive earth

creating a natural playground

for the tiniest of critters

a blanket

    of fresh, clean air wraps you in warmth, ensuring lasting peace

cascades

    of flowing water play along perfectly carved paths

please don’t take away this sanctuary
