Birds Atop Trees and Phone Wires
For you, it’s simple chatter For me, it’s all that mattersFor stuck inside these four wallsI hear how nature callsI no longer feel unsettled and alone Wherever I go, in Nature I find home
Let the Sun Shine
Your warm embrace All my painful memories erasedYou hold me, ever present The old me wasn’t present But now I’m sustained Purely by the shine of your rays
Nature Walk
Water glistening over rocksYou said you’d meet me by the docks But I preferred to go aloneTo where the Wind Whispers and the Sun has Shone

People can be like fountains—when they speak from their heart and are authentic, … Continue reading Flowin’ Like a Fountain
What is Joy?
I passed by a fountain during my lunch break walk. I thought, “That fountain looks so happy!” What does that even mean? How can a fountain be happy? Because the water was gushing out unabashedly. It didn’t care how messy it was. It wasn’t self-conscious about what others thought of how it expressed itself. It … Continue reading What is Joy?
