I Danced.. Poem by Nafisa SB

I danced with gay abandon
To the laughter of the breeze
As it caressed me softly
And whispered to the trees

The waves came edging closer
Mouths a-foam with glee
Boldly edging forward
Before they turned to flee

The leaves bent in a curtsy
The flowers swayed with grace
The butterflies flitted merrily
In that enchanted place

The birds were fast to pick up
The spirit in the air
Soaring in the sun shine
They twittered out their share

The crabs peered out slowly
Then caught up in he fun
Danced a crooked jig
Applauded by the sun

I left them to their laughter
Their carefree, merry ways
To return at will, whenever I pleased
To innocent fun-filled days

Whenever Nature frowns and gives
A dark and threatening glance
Remembrance of her Jekyll-side fills me
And leaves me in a trance.
