Nature's Dance
Red ball of fire at the edge of the sky
Sinking slowly as its light begins to die
Birds and animals seek shelter in your fading light
Hiding from the cold and fearsome night
Delicate flowers close and fold
Hiding colors long extolled
Stars drift across the darkness
Giving a beauty to the world’s bleak starkness
Morning comes and the fire ball rises
Lives and colors return in all their many guises
Such is the cycle of night and day
Nature’s dance, an eternal ballet
