This week’s prompt ~ Painted

In silence they stand and drink in the view
The sound of the waterfall, music to their ears
The lilly flowers a sight bright and new
They had seen nothing like this for years.
The beauty of nature, it sights and it’s smells
Had almost been forgotten lost for years.
A lifetime they’d been sheltering in their cells.
Hiding from death, while nature simply thrived
Without interference the planet found new life
The humans dwindled but some survived
The planet hoped they had their lessen learned.
Don’t take nature for granted her gifts are to be earned
