Nature

The Life of the Amazon 
 
Rising rainbows of splendor 
From magical water below, 
Falling from high place to low place 
A breathtaking vision, not many do know. 
Beauty in foliage and flower 
Scarlet trumpets entwined with blue-green 
A picture of beauty and light is declared 
Buds opening; yellow and orange areseen. 
Birds of a palette of color and hue 
Bright species of parrot and pelican, 
Singing heart songs they were born for… 
Flamingo, canaries and GreatToucan. 
The heart of the jungle is beating 
Gives preciouslife to the earth 
The artery of life keeping safely, 
The world in its interest from birth.
