A meeting place, this line unbroken
Where sky and sea embrace
A whisper, breathing words unspoken
Echoing through time and space
The tree stands tall in thirst for light
And toils unseen beneath the ground
Then rain descends and brings respite
Here too are horizons found
When sight roams far just to behold
Its limits we see clear
The breath that moves and shakes the soul
The horizon that dwells right here
Yet to screens and cities the limbs resign
Attention spread so thin it scatters
In this mad rush who has the time
To learn how feeling small matters?
