Nature's Canvas

Nature's Canvas 

 

Amidst the forest’s vast and tangled green, 

I roam beneath the shadows and the light. 

Ancient trees whisper, yet remain unseen, 

And nature paints its canvas pure and bright. 

 

Among the roots that anchor in the earth,

I tread the path where sunbeams gently play.

Air is thick with the scent of nature’s birth.

Was it thousands of years ago, or just yesterday? 

 

Upon the hills, where blooms in breezes seek 

In every creature’s soft and mournful call, 

Where sunsets paint the closing of the peak, 

A harmony always echoes through it all. 

 

In forest’s deep, where ancient whispers walk, 

Moonlight spills its silver as if to talk.

    Author's Note: This story isn't exactly mine to tell. One day, I came home from school, crying because I got a huge blister (this happened in elementary school) and the blister spread across my entire palm.

  • Take Me Away

    Author Bio: I wrote "Take Me Away," when I felt swamped with a growing list of things to do. It made me miss the days, in the pandemic when I’d run around the backyard, screaming “I’m bored!”

     

  • I'm Here!

    Author's Note: This poem was actually inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, "I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" I was experimenting with rhyming schemes, and then I read Emily Dickinson's poem.
