Things start to come to life,
but still it’s safe,
peace prevails,
No thoughts of war or strife.
The water chants, then the trees,
birds and bushes too.
The song of nature’s
Harmony, this number is not new.
The skies gaze down
On the
whispering streams,

I don’t know what they have to say, it’s a secretive sensation.

Plants rise in vain, their petals to the sky,
the tributary can only sigh.
Then barren concrete, the tomb of the water, the liquid wants to get out!

Then nature rests, it’s for the best,
Back to a steady beat.
