Land, Air and Sea

The tortoise - Hides her eggs in the sand Hoping the newborn find their way to the sea The hummingbird - Swift fluttering wings Disguising its iridescent breast that very few have seen The jellyfish - Deadly stretched-out tentacles Guiding a beautifully translucent body along its path The coyote - Howls on a mountaintop Announcing his catch to the pack, off in the distance The snake - Coils, then strikes Warning his prey of his intentions, beforehand The eagle - Soars freely through the sky Seeking food for its young, while protecting the nest The orca - Finds his soul mate Loving her monogamously, until his very death The panther - Sleek are his movements Cunning, prowess, and endurance are his strengths The spider – Spins an intricate web Attracting unsuspecting guests that will never leave The dove - Takes peaceful flight Representing love of all, no matter what the species The dolphin - Leaps playfully from the water Glistening sunlight dances across his fins The human – Supposedly the superior race Trying to maintain balance between all creatures, weak and strong

I love this!! Especially "unsuspecting guest.." If only as humans we could learn to be grateful and appreciate the wonderful gifts around us.. every day. Let's hope we learn before it is too late. As George Michael sang: "maybe we should all be praying for time.." x

It would be nice if more took the time to relax, and enjoy life.
