Although we are filled with worries,
There's this presence,
That sways in the breeze,
Creeping along the unknown lands,
Calling a name,
That seems to be familar,
Yet impossible to place.
Maybe we just believe,
That we are submerged in what we perceive,
Maybe we all live in denial,
Of reality's truth.
The azure, gentle swallow,
Perched on its branch,
The leaves that rustle and whisper,
Accompanying the twitters and chirps,
The beautiful melody gliding through,
The seams of the windows,
Mesmerizing in its trance.
Then the wind blew,
As the leaves chattered,
The tree strong, unwilling to bow,
To the relentless storm,
Protecting the swallow,
Who hid among the branches,
Feeble and silent.
No songs float through the air,
Though the rain takes its place,
Splitter, Splatter,
A collective rhythm,
Amplified by the wind’s howl,
And the bustling of the leaves.
As the swallow slept soundly,
Through the lullaby of the rain,
It awoke at the crack of dawn,
Ruffled its feathers,
Then took flight in its wake,
A magnificent sight as its slender body,
And the long waving tail,
Glided above the skies,
The feathers fluttering,
Sweeping the air with it,
The dance and the song,
A sign of life, harmonious nature,
A beauty to behold,
A swallow’s stance,
And its remarkable dance.
I wish not to be with someone,
But with somewhere,
A place that is free,
With surreal scenery,
A place where I can watch,
The Sun,
At the crack of dawn,
The running fawns,
Grazing,
The looming mountains protecting,
The greenery,
The canyons,
The one canary,
Who sings its song,
Who makes me cry,
In sorrow and in joy,
I don't want to be with one,
I want to be with the setting sun,
The endless sky,
As I close my eyes,
And open my soul,
For I can trust the trees,
And listen to the rustling leaves.
I wonder why I see a fire,
Burning in the water.
