Elevation

Second Nature

I never felt the flowers grow around me,

or a river surround me,

growing up like this has made me see with my eyes

and not the telescopes required

to appreciate the beauty around me

We don't need to look far

to know what's closer to our hearts

abstain from falsehood and promised lies

by the fragrance of familiarity I empathize 

that maybe you are sniffing with your eyes

and looking with a mouth

that is not yet subject to sympathize

with other doubts 

that we all have

in sincerity, brevity, and levity

it's a second nature

an unfound stature

that you might have been living in all along

yet we don't take granted

all that seem reprimanded

in a paradox

in a corner street box

And yet we don't notice the garden 

A garden of self-contentment

nature's true apartment

for one to rest

their worries in

like seeds

and watered with our tears

lets the soul blossom beautifully

when society's impure

how do you stay clean?

The answer is simple

Filter the air in your lungs

with branches evergreen

of an earnest character

possibly the best anyone should have ever seen.
