the luminous elegance of the sun
still glitters over the continental horizon
amid turmoil and waging wars

the timeless beauty of the moon
still shines upon the darkest valleys
of battles fought and a fallen past

the captivating soul of the forests
still command over the vast kingdom,
from untamed beasts to creatures unknown

the majestic scenery of the mountains
still transcend above all treachery
rooted in avarice and hearts of stone

the colossal depths of the oceans
still reflect the blue translucent skies
and whisper how to navigate the waves

the stunning work of art we call earth
still spins on her axis amongst celestial bodies
bound and certain of the orbit she takes

the world does not cease to exist
in the brink of demise - failing love,
broken trust or crushing dreams

still, it enraptures mankind
with a speck of faith, a glimmer of hope
in the midst of a ravaging maelstrom scheme
