Nature

Pastoral meadows, strolling rivers

wash over my weariness

I gaze and soak in the beauty around me

Snow capped peaks, glaciers breaking and

crashing into the sea

The visions stir my soul

Swaying branches, gentle breezes

flow across my skin

It wears away my stony shell

Nature transports me to a brighter world

It is such a plastic life I live

So much is man made but

let nature be real and wipe it away

Sandy beaches, waves crashing

over to continue the cycle

Life is more than what I see
