In the quiet woods where shadows play,
The sunlight dances at the break of day.
The whispering leaves tell stories untold,
As gentle breezes wrap the world in gold.
A brook flows softly, its laughter so sweet,
It sings a melody, a soothing beat.
The flowers bloom bright, painting the ground,
Their vibrant colors spread joy all around.
At dusk, the stars begin to twinkle high,
A canvas of dreams painted in the sky.
In nature’s embrace, I find my delight,
Each moment a treasure, each heart feeling light.
