Staring up at the sky leaves me to wonder why,
Why do the stars shine so bright and why
The moon only comes out at night, leaving
everywhere airy and bright.
When winter seeps in, the frost creeps along
The ground, leaving the weather feeling so cold
But everywhere else appears to be sound.
The stillness of the night – the owls hooting
Without a care, looking for food if they dare.
What a wonderful thing nature is, knowing it
Is always there – and that is how we should
Live – without care.
