Watch, Listen, as it all fades away

The rain trickles delicately,
The wet trenches impede movement,
The colourful vines intertwine,
Yet this evokes a feeling,
One like no other,
The warm winds whip vigorously,
The sand abrades the skin,
The dunes become perpetual,
Yet this evokes a feeling,
One like no other,
The cold air latches on to the skin,
And the glaciers dismantle themselves,
And the animals romp in pleasure,
Yet this evokes a feeling,
One like no other,
But fast forward to today,
Where the freshness gradually fades,
And now the earth warms,
And now havoc comes as a swarm,
And now, we try to end disastrous changes to our beloved land.
