Nature

The tree’s leaves sway from side to side
where some prey, like to hide.
The trees in the forest stand strong and tall,
when some hunters see it, they look appalled.
The sun shining on the beautiful terrain,
no one wants it, to be arranged.
The lake’s water, shimmering like stars,
The waves splashing, sounds like a car.
This is a sacred place and a restricted zone,
because there are no hunters there are no animal bones.
No one knows the secrets of this harmonious place,
all the animals there have a big grin on their face.
Now you can see the wonders of this world,
This is the place God has swirled to make it what it is today,
everyone in the forest was so happy, they all shouted, “Hooray!”
