Time to wave the flag
Giving thanks for our freedom
Lighting up the fourth.

petals of red Rose
dripping early morning dew
opening at dawn

solstice sun burns hot
scorching earth dawn to dusk
moisture ****** from earth

golden orb rises
heat blazing down scorching earth
mother is thirsty

caterpillar crawls
inching slowly towards the green
silently transforms*

night Sky darkening
thunder, rain and Lightening Strike
tree split then flames high

standing at surf's edge
waves crash rock walls then retreat
water's wash over me

glimmering water
creeping up a sandy beach
toes covered wet sand

digging in the earth
sandcastle by the sea shore
laughter and joy reign.
