The sky, it captivates me as it beckons to my soul

And the grass swallows my feet as I lose my self-control

The crickets are chirping sounds of grace and lover’s quarrels

As I fight to keep alive my sense of pride and fading morals

The wind it whispers to me as my eyes begin to tear

And my lungs do rise, and they do fall as my breath becomes so near

And I look up to the darkened clouds for someone who’s not there

And I ask, if this is really, truly life, then why is it not fair?

I feel raindrops tap me as they dance along my sides

And pull me with a power equivalent to ocean tides

My fingers reach for earth and they dig until they find

Soil rich in all the things that Mother Nature does provide

And soon I hear the thunder and I know that I’ve been heard

As I start to drift away a bit and reality is blurred

I see a creature coming towards me, timid but divine

And fall asleep so soundly because I know this night is mine
