The Slumber of Earth

The petrichor dampened the brittle air,

While the viridescent grass clung onto dew

And burly, mahogany trees perched towering and gangly.

Above, large celestial bodies danced in syzygy

As below earthworms crawled in unison to the sound of neglected rain drops.

Faceless, silver, low hanging clouds somberly trudged across gray skies

As a sensation of restlessness circulated around

And all man made sound drowned in the pandemonium of nature.

As tadpoles swam in miry water

And snails traipsed over damp sidewalks,

The world reposed in peace.
