Water

water
swishing loudly
through waterfalls and creeks
gurgling as it passes us by
quickly

Sunshine

sunshine
softly glowing
on the flowers and trees
brilliantly coloring the world
golden

Autumn

autumn
paints the landscape
vibrant hues of color
gold, crimson and burnt sienna
glisten

Erosion

water
swishing, gurgling,
pounding and eroding
giant waves erasing footprints
on sand

exercising
lifting weights and walking
running, jumping, aquatics too
