FACING NATURE


My day began with the rise of my third

Eye placed in the center of my eyebrows

It shines as if it is the whole source

Of light for the whole world, even though

Bulbs glowing here and there.

 

It shines as much as the water in my face

Leaves to the sky, flowing out

Towards my mouth, only to rise to the sky

And returns back to me as tears of sky

With purity to become lucky pearls.

 

I think and think why my face is so green

With the hair on my face waving

Towards the wind, making me

Often cool and composed, with the crown of

Leaves on my head also waving its branches.

 

I, as nature, felt all these were only mine

For the time until humans reach my face,

Nearly to make it extinct as soon

as possible, to satisfy their desires,

Leaving me with the loss of my smile.

 

Yet I am still happy, for I know that

My smile will end as soon as humans enter

My peaceful, evergreen and charming face.

But humans don't realize that they take

everything from me - except true happiness.
