Small Wonders

Even in the quiet moments of a misty morning you cannot

miss the most simple beauty of the small wonders of life

you can still hear the smallest bird sing his sweet song

the gentle raindrops tapping softly at the window pane

the simple cocoon still brings to us the beautiful butterfly

free to flutter among the palest pink rose and touch down

upon the smallest blade of green grass

and a caterpillar crawls slowly on a wet golden ground

with autumn's leaves paving the way

Ah, yes,the simple beauty of an ant busy at work makes

its own statement a worthy one to consider in the simplicity of life

Oh, to behold the simple and small wonders of this world

is such sweet joy.

 And the buzzing bee still yields sweet honey.

Very nice, has a children story hidden inside for the child in us. I felt the fall with the little creatures trying to hold on to the last of summer. Good luck with your contest.

I love this. It truly is the simple things in life that make life beautiful. I love how you got all of this insight from a tiny ant. Beauty abounds in your words.
