Create your own art.Wild SymphonyIn forests deep where shadows play, The timber wolves begin their song, While black bears lumber through the day And mountain lions prowl along.Red foxes dart through underbrush, Their copper coats like autumn flame, As raccoons wash in waters hushed And deer step light without a name.The great horned owl calls through the night, While possums waddle, slow and round, And bobcats stalk with silent might Across the moss-covered ground.On plains that stretch beyond the eye, Where golden grasses bend and sway, The bison thunder, heads held high, And pronghorn leap throughout the day.Coyotes sing their wild refrain To stars that pierce the endless sky, While prairie dogs across the plain Stand sentinel as hawks fly by.The elk bugle their ancient call, Wild horses run with manes unfurled, And jackrabbits, both short and tall, Dance free across this untamed world.From forest floor to prairie wide, These creatures claim their sacred space, In wilderness they run and hide— Wild spirits time cannot erase.
