Cosmos
I long for a love that is sweet,
Yet, I receive a bird's soothing tweet.
I long for a world of solitude and peace.
Where my comfort is the sea waves and the wind breeze.
I look for the meaning of beauty.
And I’m still amazed at how this world seems to be.
I look for the world’s end.
But, it all led me to where I started.
I run to escape the darkness,
Only to be found by nature's brightness.
My feet wonders in nothingness,
Only to be lit by the moon’s gentleness.
I feel how the mountains listen.
To the sorrows and griefs of every man.
I feel how it replicates my pain.
And echoes back with gentle rain.
I see how the clouds get heavy.
The same, how I have a lot to carry.
And I also see the stars shining bright.
In the dark and lonely nights.
Finally, I find the reasons for life.
On how nature heals us inside.
I find the reason to hope,
And learn to cherish life’s gentle tide.
