I burrow and dig, a subterranean sight
A consumer of roots, morning and night
A small but mighty, a vital role
In the underground world a hidden soul
I scavenge and forage, a dirty deed
I clean up the mess, a helpful creed
I feed on the dead, a somber need
A vital role, a nature's seed
I'm the foundation, the building block
I'm the first link, the starting shock
I provide energy, a steady clock
The life of an ecosystem, a mighty flock
I am a fiery ball, a distant sight
A source of energy, morning and night
From distant stars, my energy flows
Nourishing Earth, where life grows
I prowl the night, a silent hunter's grace
Seeking prey with a determined pace
A top-tier predator, fearsome and strong
My reign at the food chain's peak, where I belong
I use sunlight's kiss, a golden gleam.
I turn water and air into a verdant dream.
The base of the food chain, a vital machine.
I'm often green, a nature's scene.
I nibble and graze, a peaceful sight.
On grasses and leaves, morning and night
A gentle giant, a herbivore's grace
A part of the food web, in every place.
I have no mouth, yet I can eat.
I have no feet, yet I can roam
I'm a complex network, a natural feat.
A web of life, a living dome.
