Rocks

   From emerald meadows, rocky structures emerge,
   Gray boulders reaching for the heavens’ verge.
   Nature’s chisel, with artful grace,
   Adorns their surfaces, a wondrous embrace.
   A giraffe, majestic, stands tall and proud,
   A sheep, gentle, amidst the crowd.
   A deer, graceful, in tranquil repose,
   And a prehistoric dinosaur, from ancient throes.
   Wind and rain, with delicate touch,
   Etch these creatures, a masterpiece as such.
   Intricate patterns, subtly traced,
   By nature’s hand, they are graced.
   In nature’s realm, their artistry blooms,
   A testament to untamed creativity’s loom.
   An ethereal gallery, where wonders unfold,
   Against the ceaseless expanse of green, bold.
   In the heavens high, a dome of azure hue,
   Adorned with spots of blue and purple hue,
   It gently holds the land, a cradle fair,
   Its canvas painted with white strokes, a cosmic affair.
   The swirling patterns dance, both near and far,
   Concentric circles, like a celestial memoir,
   A ballet grand, mirrored on earthly ground,
   A tableau divine, where wonders can be found.
   Verdant sentinels encircle this grand spectacle,
   Guardians of a serenely chaotic balance,
   Where life, history, and art intertwine,
   Sculpted by time and nature’s whims divine.
