The Moonlight Dance.

The Moonlight Dance

The moon above, shone down brightly, Upon the animals arriving, who tread so lightly. This was a night where all would come out, to see something special which was rarely about. The stream trickled through the glowing trees, lighting the way for the animals with ease. The badger sat on the bank of the stream and the Angelic sight, he thought was a dream. A Silver Swan danced under the light, spreading her wings to twirl in delight. She danced by herself, yes she danced all alone. Happily dancing in a world of her own.The animals gazed and all kept so quiet not to startle the swan on this magical night.

The Fallen Tree

I walked along with the world on my shoulders.
Feeling this bad was like carrying boulders.
 To my left, I saw a tree, which had fallen
and crashed and i thought "just like me!"
I looked again, this tree wasn't dying. It's leaves were green
and in the breeze, the blossoms were flying.
 A squirrel peeped out of a hole it was dwelling
and a bird flew up from the place she was nesting.
 Though it had fallen this tree was not sad.
It seemed to me this tree must be glad.
I was shocked at the beauty of this fallen tree
and how it gave out a message which appealed to me,
Never let troubles make you feel small,
when a fallen tree can stand so tall.
