Last night I saw the jungle breathing
Leaves exhaled in and out
Branches wiggled their fingers
And the trees
In the breeze
Put on a show for all to see

Last night I saw the jungle laughing
Plants got the giggles
Trees split their sides,
And the branches noisily waved their arms

Last night I saw the jungle dancing
Palm trees swayed in the breeze
Trees wiggled their hips all over the place
And the plants
In the breeze
Twirling and twisting

Last night I saw the jungle starving
Flowers smacked their lips
And plants wilted
Monkeys swinging, trying to find food

Last night I saw the jungle crying
Leaves bowed to the lonely trees
Animals rubbed their swollen eyes

Last night I saw the jungle sleeping
Animals dreamed
Stars quietly boasted
‘When I grow up I am going to be a shooting star.’
And in the wind
Like a butterfly
