Mother Nature
A refreshing breeze on a hot summer’s day
A warm ray of sun in a freezing winter’s morning
The occurrences of these extremes drive home your point
(In total darkness, shines brightest a faint ray of light)
This leaves me at a constant bequest
In spring, a full spectrum of colors is on display
And their fragrances, my senses, indulge
When I swim in a sweet-water lake
Or in the salty water of the ocean
Senses are heightened
And those that have long been asleep
Awakened!
But like all living beings, you have your tempests
In a short moment, you tear through meadows, forests,
countries and cities
And seemingly, all lives and structures give feebly
After all that, comes compassion and forgiveness
All are redeemed and salvaged
Time outpaces us all
Yet you seem to be untouched
In the cyclical change of seasons
Accordingly, your landscape changes, un-smudged
I shall give in to time as all livings do
But again into you, I’ll dissolve
To be a part of you
Like always have been
