Beauty

Look around you

Are the leaves falling from the trees?

On the ground below

Isn't it beautiful red and green?

-

But, beauty in nature is fleeting

Think of the spring flowers

Or the bright berries

In summertime.

-

Perhaps now, 

You should consider a waterfall

In wintertime, when the water

Cascades down amoung snow.

-

And then the snow melts, but is replaced

By tulips and daffodils

And then those whither and die

But then others bloom

-

This cycle continues throughout the year

One thing turning to the next

One amazing thing becoming

Something else

-

And now look at what us humans have made

Cities, monuments

But they fade over time

And we try to keep them the same

-

But we're pushing against the tide

Everything changing around us

Keeping it the same isn't the anwser

Perhaps, we should look for something

Even more beautiful.
