Question: Does this poem illustrate a lesson learned from nature!?
Silver dollar aspen leaves
dancing at soft touch of wind!.
Humming bird in quickened pace
searching next blossom to taste!.
Jay bird in jest takes high flight
just as cat makes giant leap!.

Nature's lesson to be learned!?

Stillness must not define life,
it's our motion that connects!.
Beating hearts lend outstretched hands,
expressed actions give purpose!.
Energy spent not wasted,
our part to propel world's spin!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
