Between Earth and Sky

In a world that continues to grow cold.
The attitude, "who cares, what about me"?
Those seeking power, becoming too bold.
Deciding factors, what will they be?

Have we lost sight of what is real?
We are drifting further away.
The truth, we try to conceal.
Our arrogance is on display.

Chaos brings a need for peace.
But distractions lead us astray.
For a moment, let all clamour cease,
and step out into the day.

The beauty of nature awaits you,
patiently standing by.
To offer a breathtaking view,
of all between earth and sky.

The sun, moon, mountains and sea,
riches beyond compare.
Priceless, yet they remain free.
To those who see and are aware.

Nature gives, for us to receive,
all that delights the heart.
In it's truth, we must believe,
a place where healing can start.

Thank you Virginia for your thoughtful comment. Maybe no one wants to see the reality of things. It is easier to turn away. It is sad.

Pity the USA did not develop cities like Paris where one can easily exit the civilised world to step into serene nature . . . .Enjoyed!
