The Nature Lover's Dream

The Nature Lover's Dream

                                       by SHANTHA TELDENIYA

Vail of flowers clad treetop forever.
Lovers of flowers play  Beethoven's hearers. 
Hearing while no sense flowers are dozing, 
Secretly stealing the nectar from their petals.

Birds know to fly from one tree to another.
And their singing gives melody of nature. 
Hearing while no sense but rabbits awaking, 
And playing and pleasing newborn siblings.

Green grass waving with the wind want blowing. 
Grasshoppers jump and look for taste grazing, 
Butterflies rome for flower nectar oozing,  
Moths are waiting for a coming night's feeding.

Caterpillar chews and eats tender leaves.
Flowers show angry moods upon wounded leaves,
Not knowing it would be a handsome butterfly.
Flowers may not be in hating knowing their fate.
