Nature's Show

The wind caresses my fragile skin

Making it feel all pale and weak

And the sun glowers overhead

With its mighty light, enriching us

With love, lust and life.

The plants sway

To the song sung by the wind

And the birds are chirping

As if auditioning

To get a chance

As a singer or at least a rookie

To the forest’s music.

The still water stays calm.

As if to show the world

That it is the natural mirror,

A mirror of thoughts and emotions.

Sudden ripples form on the glass water

And the land above quirks and squeaks

But almost at once it quiets down

And not a sound can be heard

Other than my beating heart.

There goes a bird,

Flying like it’s the best.

And there goes a squirrel

Scurrying back home for dinner.

And as I watch this stage show

Arranged by none and performed by all.

I believe that the world will never change

And that this stage show will go on forever
