Above the valley
Clouds gently touch mountain peaks;
Nature’s majesty

Overwhelmed by simple tasks
What is this I have become?
Sadness, behind my smiling mask
Truth is… I am feeling numb
Emotional, at the slightest change
Tears flow, and for no reason
Even to myself, I feel quite strange
Perhaps, it is that time of season
Where leaves once painted the trees
Now they lay, lifeless and brown
I watched them whirl, in the breeze
On their way, swiftly, falling down
I can relate to the leaves, you see
I’ve spiraled with them, for so long
Much like a twister, roaming free
Yet, unknowing if I truly belong

I carved myself a window
Chiseled away the hardened earth
Just in time to catch the light
Of a fiery sun’s rebirth
Orange painted clouds rejoiced
As the rays chased away the night
Flocks of feathered creatures
Took off, on a journey, aflight
As for me, I sat in awe and wonder
Watching, as day took its place
And colored my eyes with majesty
All this, through my own little space

I
Am one.
A simple
Yet complex root.
With new beginnings,
I plant my feet, and grow.
The mighty earth, under me
Nourishes my very being,
Nurturing my heart, however brief;
Until the moment I breathe my last breath
And I become one with the earth, again
Mixed in the soil, of a thousand years
Below the ground, where I once stood
Strong, and unwavering, though
At times, I would quiver
Much like leaves, in spring
Wishing for life
To return
Within
Me

Fire in the night
A clouded haze
A dragon spark
The sky ablaze
The land aglow
From his violent breath
Down below
They meet their death
Villagers cry
No hope for they
A dragon’s flame
They cannot slay
