NATURE GIRL
The nature girl
who loves outdoors;
satisfying her curiosity
on her own,
as she explores
the wonder of her surrounds.
In denim and pink
she goes to find
what's in the beauty
that envelopes
in those red clusters
of thick Azaleas -
Hiding in that bushy
shrubs of green foliage;
matching her own outfit.
She reaches out her little arms,
left and right, until she picks one
and examines its secret.
Zana the nature girl
is a curious little soul;
perhaps full of wonderings
for everything she sees
that her eyes set on and
what could be on her mind
she's thinking and in her heart feeling.
I, too, wonder:
Has she got questions
that need answers only
in the beauty of those red flowers
she can find?
If only butterflies are around,
maybe the'll guide her
to the nectar they sip
in reward to the pollens
they seeded to make more colours
of the rainbow in the garden she goes.
If only she hears the bees buzzing
as if whispering in her ears,
"come over and see us work",
then you'll find
how Mummy's garden grows.
Fruits are flowers we do.
