Performance

Slowly swirling patterns imbedded in the flowing air

Perfect pictures lain within the grain of fresh cut wood

Calming concertos made by falling rain on the open sea

Subtle singing heard within the rustling of autumn flame

 

Delicious dances preformed by silver seas of Scombridea

Humble harmonies set to the open stage by the winged Aves

Anomalistic artistry found within the patterned garb of Felinae

Rolling rhythms written in the marshaled mass of the Formicidae

 

Such songs does nature sing so that all may hear her passioned tones

Before our very eyes does she paint the masterpieces we ever try to seek

And ever does she cause the world in all its creation to liven life with dance

All she ask is that you who can hear and see take pause to admire and take part
