Lesson From the Badlands
A hilltop covered in yellow and green
Reveals secrets long unseen
A quiet stillness pierces the air
As nature makes clear that she is still there
A barren landscape, or so it seems
Void of grass or lakes or streams
Yet if you listen carefully for the sounds
Soon you'll find that life abounds
Upon us did nature this treasure bequeath
A constant reminder to look just beneath
And that if we don't train our eyes
The world's splendors will be hidden in plain disguise
