Oh mole why won't you go away

You rub me the wrong way

In the most conspicuous spot

No air you get sweaty hot

Yet you still grow

Even as your benign surface will show

A beauty mark to bestow?

Some flowers also grow in dank conditions

Acclimatizing coming to fruition

Preferring shade to sunlight

And even the darkness of night

Reaching toward the moon

Petals ripening with the monsoon

Coveting nutrients at noon.

Life grows in humidity

Flourishing in warm fluidity

The biosphere a petri dome

Where organisms can freely roam

Going through many life stages

Relishing metamorphosis phases

Fluttering about in its ancestor's mazes.

Rain forest is for-us

Shading cooling from dawn to dusk

Moisture cools the skin

Letting us breathe from within

Needing water to sieve

Natural Elements from man's Eve

Caressing nature's motif.
