LOOK AROUND YOU

There is new life everyway in the skies, trees and both in the earth and under it
Lambs skipping chasing each other then running to their mothers to suckle
Eggs cracking open in the nest chicks fighting their way out of shell mum tidy's up and beaks ever ready for food  brought by dad as mum keeps them warm 
Mammals barrel deep inside the warm earth born blind and often hairless.
Insects hide under bark, tunnel into holes while skin split and new forms appear

Eggs cracking wide open
lambs frolic skipping at play
split skin reveal moths

Dear Shadow, I really loved how your imagery captures the beauty and vitality of nature's constant renewal. The scenes of lambs frolicking, eggs cracking open, and mammals burrowing underground evoke a sense of wonder and awe. Your words reflect on pausing and appreciating the miracles unfolding around us, from the tiniest insects to the grandeur of the skies. I like the interconnectedness of all living things and the enduring resilience of life itself. Excellent! Blessings, Daniel
