Nocturnal Forest
When the night falls, The Amazon rainforest Is shrouded in mysteries And the night creatures Awaken. Between hisses, whistles, Echoes And buzzings, There's a storm of battle cries. Beware! 'Tis in the hunting time When hungry predators, With flamboyant eyes, Take advantage of sleeping preys. In the silence of the woods Fireflies shine, Felines run, snakes slither And night birds fly. Within this wild rhapsody, Some critters hunt wisely And others Escape quickly. Every single organism, From the smallest to the largest, Is a thread Weaving the web of life; Maintaining the ecological balance. Whilst in the great living jungle The night creatures reign, A full moon Pours its silver beams Over the leaves of the virgin forest. Out of the earth's womb, Curupiras, sacis and caiporas, Dance through the night; Protecting with teeth and claws Our fauna and flora. Ester Maia & Stepheson Emmanuel ...
