Nature Has Everything In Place
While I took girls to many bars,
Simple pleasures missed my radars.
Because I had customized cars,
In my mind disappeared the stars.
There was only one big mountain
Behind my self-centered curtain.
I climbed it and saw more than ten.
And my mind started to open.
Past my nose I could see nothing.
Then, a rainbow I saw in spring.
It was not a man-made painting.
My imagination kicked in.
Back then, my pictures were not bright.
An American Airlines flight
Brought me from above to the light.
Men! Are the philosophers right!
It was a different dimension,
A perspective of attention.
Was everything in proportion?!
Earth was vanishing, no question.
As the world was getting bigger,
In the sky I went the higher.
Everything below got smaller,
And my viewpoints became wider.
Then, I imagine myself high
In the universe, in the sky.
The view would surely make me cry.
All those planets and stars! No lie!
Observing a solar eclipse!
Of a sunset catching a glimpse!
Enjoying a morning sunrise!
Nature has everything in place.
Amazed by the world majesty,
I now embrace humility.
My love tends to infinity.
It reaches past humanity.
Today doesn’t wither my view.
Above it transcends the sky-blue.
Below it pierces the deep blue,
For the perspective is from you.
To philosophize I should try.
It teaches me to live and die.
To die’s not the end of a guy.
It’s an ability to fly.
As a being, I feel human.
As my equal I see woman.
I see the future through children.
I shall cultivate my garden.
Indeed, whatever the crisis,
I shall see the world as it is,
Always strive to make good choices,
And find mine among its places.
I know I matter, but I’m small.
Earth’s special, but it’s just a ball.
The world immensity’s a call
For reflection and peace to all.
