Bonded to What's Around Us
By Shiau Wei C
Clouds form through the crowd
The trees' leaves sway freely
The icy breeze seizes through the air,
Creating ripples on the lake's surface
Waiting
For the pour pitter pattering on earth's ground
Toes curled into the ground
Feeling connected
Finally at peace
With nature
Stress, anxiety, depression
Seems to evaporate through the air
Floating above our heads
Reaching as far as beyond Earth's atmosphere
The soothing ambience of nature
Makes you feel at home
Nature holds so much more
The bond so fragile
Yet nature still holds on
Even under the most extreme pressure
