to feel the power of nature is to connect with all living things
what will happen does nature allows this; man would try to improve it
if we ate the peal we would say that the orange was inedible
the city rolls past the windows, fogged, work to paint a dreamy landscape
no one would object if we stayed cozy at home on this dreary day
the painter chooses thoughtfully the colors and textures to apply
there’s a muted glow that makes the city distant yet somehow closer
the city quiets and everything slows down as the snow piles up
the fear of drifting is in giving up control we don’t really have
you’re not wasting time if you are doing something that your soul requires
