Nature’s Beauty

Nature's beauty is something most people don’t seek  

But once you do it is something you shall keep

At first glance it is a barren time full of cold.

But it is really a colorful place full of leaves all different colors and hues

It is a time when people gather with their family and all sorts of food. 

Nature's beauty is something hard to seek

But once you do it is something you shall keep

At first glance it is when white fills the fields 

But it is actually a jolly wonderland full of unique snowflakes

It is a time where people open presents and celebrate Christ's birth. 

Nature's beauty is something most people don't keep

But once you do it is something that will make you unique

At first glance it is the melting of snow and the beginning of hot

But it is really the blossoming of flowers the start of the sunshine

It is when animals come out from sleep and get ready to start living

Nature’s beauty is something most people don’t seek

But once you open your eyes it is something truly chic

At first glance it is a hot sunshine scorching the earth

But it is really a cheerful time full of parties and celebration

It is a time of butterflies and full bloom of flowers

It is a time of relaxing a break from labor

Nature is truly beautiful but you have to seek its beauty

It can be colorful leaves and food celebrations

It can be a wonderland full of beautiful snowflakes

It can be the blossoming of flowers and the start of the sun

It can be a time of party and celebration

It can be a time of butterflies and flowers

It can be a time of relaxation.

Nature’s beauty is something hard to seek.

But once you do it is something you should keep

Something that you should keep in your heart.

The Side Of What Is

Another night gone so slowly.

So tired but can not sleep.

Thoughts flooding the brain

Like waves would a ship.

Listening to the wind singing

With the trees, their songs with

all their melodies seeking

themselves in combination with

the songs making this beautiful 

sound but also while thinking 

on what to sing next.

 They'll always end up

with a beautiful melody for

a song but need time

to think about it just

as they would their own thoughts

But always thinking on how the

 side of what is.

Ocean Sky

Looking out into the deep vast sky, 

into the shades of blue,

 the clouds passing by,

 the rippling sounds,

 the sun's blinding light,

 I know that I am grateful for the deep vast sky.

The sky looks like the ocean,

 so deep and vast,

 both have similarities,

 they can seem slow,

 or fast.

 The deep deep ocean has things hidden underneath,

 just waiting for us to go and see what's beneath.

 The life, waves, more than ever before!

 That's what I like to see, when I go and explore.

 They both have similarities,

 both the same yet not,

 but one thing’s for sure.

 They always keep moving,

 and never stop,

 they have never stopped before.

YOU

I hate it when you cry

Or when you say you wanna die

I hate it when your mad

Even more when your sad

I hate it when you say no one loves you

Because you know I do

Sometimes your crazy, sometimes your not

And I understand happiness isn’t all you got

Sometimes we argue, sometimes we fight

But once we make up its always bright

I know we aren’t family 

Not even close

But your my best friend

And I love you the most
