The Whispering Tree — I stand tall and speak without words, my leaves tell stories in a language unheard.

The Invisible Thread — I connect the lost and found, though I am neither seen nor bound, I weave through life, holding all around.

The Silent Harbinger — I come without warning and leave without trace, I carry both joy and sorrow in my embrace.

The Silent Watcher — I peek through clouds, bright and high, I follow you everywhere, lighting the sky, yet when I hide, you see no light nearby.

The Midnight Painter — I sprinkle the sky with twinkling dots, you see my work when the day is lost, I make no sound but leave you in awe.

The Gentle Glow — I light the path when it’s dark and still, I hang in the sky, quiet and chill, though I don’t burn, I always fill.

The Invisible Singer — I sing a song without a tune, I rustle leaves and move dunes, you feel my touch but see me not soon.

The Morning Herald — I wake you up with my song so sweet, I hop and peck and skip on feet, I greet the dawn with cheerful beat.

The Sky’s Blanket — I cover the world in grey or white, I cry sometimes and block the light, but I can float and make the sky bright.

The Busy Builder — I spin and weave without a thread, I make my home above your head, I catch my food while you’re in bed.

The Tiny Lantern — I glow at night but not with fire, my little light will never tire, I flit and fly and then retire.
