I sit by the window as I read, For nature I need to see. I stretch my arm to the sun's warm heat, Only for a cloud to make the warmth recede. I look out to the trees, Hoping to see some life. It helps to see the trees, But it hurts to see the towers which above them rise. Nature I need to remain sane, For these man-made walls mock me. Without nature I am in pain, Within a building I am ashamed. If only I made time to reconnect with it, That I might in overwhelming peace pray. Then, then I'd be able to omit, The voice that says "You have to read today."

I sit by the window as I read, For nature I need to see. I stretch my arm to the sun's warm heat, Only for a cloud to make the warmth recede. I look out to the trees, Hoping to see some life. It helps to see the trees, But it hurts to see the towers which above them rise. Nature I need to remain sane, For these man-made walls mock me. Without nature I am in pain, Within a building I am ashamed. If only I made time to reconnect with it, That I might in overwhelming peace pray. Then, then I'd be able to omit, The voice that says "You have to read today."
