NATURE &; MAN by K.Liao The waves of the ocean The flow of emotions within. Birds perched on a tree, Singing my soul's melody. The growth of a seed, A bundle of joy is born. The fall of a brown leaf, Time to grieve; time to mourn. Tempest arrives, Strengthens the rage inside. A rainbow colors the sky, Embraced with arms open wide. An adder close by With it hostility entwined. Rays of sunlight Warm my heart. Zephyr passes by, Carrying my fears afar. Here is where Here is when Nature and man combine As one, And here is where here is when understanding is borne.
