"If you're an insect then you're a mayfly. Here for a day then gone. We're here and then we're gone. And it's not about the time that we're here, but what we do with the time." Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave


Here I stand in the golden hours
Waves crash and people talk and laugh
The colorful sky and beautiful flowers
As beautiful as this, nothing would even be half

Here I stand with leaves at my feet
Rays of sunlight pass through trees
Bare trees without leaves seem incomplete
Grass grows along the dirt path with a strong breeze

Here I stand above the tall trees
A beautiful view thousands of feet high
The journey was not of one’s ease
For the view and the untouchable sky

Here I stand away from puffs of black smoke
Now and forever I have awoke.
