The Beauty of Nature
One cool evening, I put aside all duty,
To sit alone, watching the sun set,
And as I do, I think of scenes filled with beauty,
Scenes I wish to never forget.
I think of the beach, with the sand and the sea,
The waves roaring up, then gently lapping the beach,
The cries of the seagulls, so happy, so free,
If only men realized the lesson it can teach.
I think of a lake, the crystal clear water,
So pure, so smooth, and cool on my skin,
The air, so clean, no toxic slaughter,
There’s a key, a lesson held within.
I think of a waterfall, water freely flowing,
The gently gush, gurgling in my ears,
The wind on my face, calmly blowing,
So many have not learnt in so
many years.
The sunset, the beach, the lake, the waterfall,
They’re things of nature, not man-made at all,
Characteristics unbeatable by man have they all,
They're peace and beauty,
both of which it seems men want to fall.
It is difficult to say what is impossible,
for the dream of yesterday is
the hope of today and the
reality of tomorrow.
I'm not somebody,
I'm nobody....
