Nature's Child

The crystal globe of the moon shines bright against the dark night sky.
I gaze at the stars in wonderment and think about life.
The life that is mine, the life that is yours;
The life of those I shall never meet, of those I shall never set eyes upon
And the life of all who lay claim to this world.

A world of natural beauty and yet flooded with fallen tears.
Tears flowing from eyes blinded by war and famine;
Tears that many do not see because they hide from the pain.
Yet I cannot suppress my emotions.

I feel what I see, the pleasure, the pain, the love, the hate.
It is all consuming in a heart born to experience all that life holds.
I am at one with the universe.
I am, nature’s child.
