natural


The frown in the sky And a chasm upon the earth Is undone by the tender embrace of the sun The overwhelming, intoxicating rush of the water The terrorizing bursts of air That obliterate what we call homes, palaces, gardens Repaired by the same layered blanket that surrounds every being With every intake of air, we flush ourselves with a harmonious mixture of poisons and beauty Our mutual attraction sometimes tends to be shattered by creatures or giant walls of water But nevertheless, she's always there, welcoming us with a warm meal and shelter We welcome her, sometimes we abuse her But we never forget her
