Dec 2013
look at the world around you
look at the way the birds of the morning
sing the same sweet melody every day
look at how the wind can bend the trees
but never do they bow to it
breathe in the atmosphere and the air
polluted it may be, it holds everything you need
marvel at how easily breathing comes to you
even when you feel you cannot
look at the way the sun never fails to rise
and the stars appear in different places each night
be awed by the constant rotation of Earth
and the way we do not notice how it turns
look at the animals, the fox that creeps into your garden
and the deer that runs from the wolves in the forest
feel the rain pounding against your skin
every drop lasting only a mere few seconds
before it's short life is over and purpose is gone
but the storms never stop being beautiful
and the rain both cleanses and creates
new life is being formed every second
all the atoms are working together
in perfect unison
Look at this world, really look.
Isn't it remarkable?
