Grief

A soft melody bathed the air,

Gently the wind kissed me,

While I sat in a trance,

Relishing Nature’s delicacy.

Watching dainty flowers bloom

Among the rustling leaves

As gaily fluttered the butterflies

And bird perched in grace

Singing amid whispering trees

My heart with joy filled

And exultant smiled I

A smile of innocent joy

But then there flashed

Upon my tranquil mind

Man’s invasion of nature

I lost my tranquility

Faded away the melody

While I lament and writhe

With grief pierced deep

In this tender heart of mine
