Hectic

"What is the World?" by Brittany Roberts

A thousand pieces to the puzzle

Try to put it together

Love is bright, vibrant

Start, stop, beating like a heart

Full of feelings I don't understand

'I love you' is the strongest part

Flowing merrily on its way

Which way does the flow of time go?

Time is relevant, never to stay

And the trickle of water slows.

Sun shines through the branches

As wind blows softly through the trees

Leave me undisturbed

In this sense of quiet peace.

The chatter of girls drifts through

Giggles and screams and shock

Society at work as the volume grew

So difficult not to mock

As I listen a little closer

I hear the cicada's scream

A tiny siren whistling

Sounds to a perfect summer scene

As the waves crash upon the shore

Dissolving into the sand

A million tiny grains, a mosaic

Of watery pieces of land

The sky is blue, the clouds are white

As they drift steadily across

Along with the quick, cool summer breeze

As stray leaves fly and toss

A small, white butterfly skitters along

A symbol of tranquility

To see what will become of it, what the fututre holds

Now that would be a sight to see

The call of a bird whispers true

An un decipherable sound

I watch as it flaps its wings

Up and down, up and down

The sun is bright, its warmth is strong

The power of life and love

There are those who complain, it's too hot, it's too warm

But I look upon it with awe

Hard and brittle under my feet

The twiggs and sticks crack where I step

I am reminded that nature surrounds me

Like all of the people I've met

A thousand pieces to the puzzle

Try to put it together

Because the picture you'll find

Of life and the world

Will amaze you down deep in your heart.

(It's been hard for me to get to a computer yesterday, I'll hopefully post this afternoon again with what I did yesterday :D)

Stay adventurous,
