Melancholy bird
In grey skys
Melancholy words
On grey paper
Esoteric flowers
Confine their bloom
Esoteric powers
Confine their knowledge
Slippery peblles
Evade searching hands
Slippery rebels
Evade searching men
Look and you will see
How very much alike
Nature and thee
Live thy lives
Sky
Majestic, heavenly
Scintillating, guiding, inspiring
Galaxies, stars, flowers, harvests
Sustaining, reaping nurturing
Warm, powerful
Earth
