Sometimes unnoticed,

things in our world that are small or mundane.

Like the circles in water puddles,

created in a spring rain.

Like the brightness of glistening stars,

sitting in a vast desert sky.

Like the chirping sounds of a friendly hummingbird at my door,

not wanting to say goodbye.

Like the feel of rough grooves in a canyon rock,

perfect for climbing to every height.

Like the earthy scent of fallen pine cones,

in a warm habitat for the night.

Like a towering tree trunk, a friend,

dependable and kind.

The simple parts of nature,

Surprising and never fully defined.
