Analysis of Enchantment



Butterflies flit!
Red birds sing!
Frogs croak!
The vibrations of hummingbirds ping!

Flowers dance!
Church bells ring!
Snowflakes float!
Celestas sound the ring of kings!

Nature choreographs sights unseen,
That will send the heart a-soaring,
Leaves and blades of grass give pleasure;
Inspiration just by growing!

Yes! Your heart can show its mettle
As bewitching ruses come,
Raise your eyes, calm your soul,
Watch your spirit start to hum!
