Nature

Caryl Ellouise Nacorda

We must cherish nature.
because it is a treasure to us.
I adore hearing birds sing.
So early in the morning,
I enjoy hearing puppies
make their first few sounds of life.
I enjoy the aroma of flowers.
And the flavor of bees’ honey.
When the wind blows through the trees,
I adore the sound it makes.
I adore the way the sky appears on a clear, sunny day,
and I adore the ocean’s aroma
and the sound of waves lapping on the shore.
I adore the way seachells
feel and seem in my hands.
And I adore the moon’s brilliant illumination
when the sun is gone.
