Blink

Close your eyes
Breathe in the cool breeze
Of a hot summers day
Listen
Sound is all around
Yet everything is calm
The waves splash up onto the rocks
Singing tales of old times to you
An eagle screeches
Bringing news from afar
Crickets play their orchestra
The grass whistles a sweet lullaby
The tree swings its long branches
Waving with the gentle breeze
As if happy to see you
O, the perfectionism of Mother Nature
It makes you smile
Now open your eyes
That beauty is lost
To the drowning of bass and smog
The quiet only lasts a blink
