Wonder

I look at the world and I wonder

Why the summer fruit smells so sweet

Why the autumn leaves snap and crunch on the ground

Why the snowflakes shine like diamonds

Why the spring flowers blossom with an illuminate shine 

Why the running rain so sweet to dance in

Why the rainbow brings us joy 

Why do the mountains look so magical at night 

Why the rivers flow on without ever looking back at the stone beds it passed on the way

Why the sea breezes with ease

Why the desert burns with heat 

Why the forest twinkles in the light

Why the clouds are like fluffy sheep flying about in the azure sky above me

Why the wind blows us away with blinding beauty

Why the morning dew makes us feel alive… so alive

Why the ocean breeze sprays us in the fresh morning air giving us a taste of the ocean water

Why the soil nurtures the delicate flowers 

Why the lightning dances ruthlessly across the sky 

Why the thunder echoes in in my ear like nature is crying 

Why the trees rustle in the gentle breeze

Why the morning mist is cold as it blankets our feet

Why the rays of sunshine fade away at nightfall

Why the pebbles are smooth and waterworn, being washed away with the cerulean, glistening waves

Why the ladybirds fly around the beautiful fields and forests bringing brightness everywhere around

Why the spiderwebs are lacy with intricate details glimmering in the night sky

Why the waterfalls fall down, while spraying everyone with their cold clear water

Why the blades of grass tickle my toes

Why the hailstones bounce off my cheek and leave a little sting

Why the meadows are ambushed with pollen scented flowers

Why the seashells are on the beach making the sound of the sea

Why the waves hit the coast in a roarsome crash

I look at the world and I wonder who I am.
