Do you feel overwhelmed
at the sight of green fields
And a blade of grass
Lit up like a fine emerald stone?
Do your mind get lost in the sunset,
And do you stand your ground
As if you are the last witness
Of a time that will soon be forgotten?
Do you feel you see too much
And have too little time to take in all?
Do you feel the world passing by
At the speed of light and weekends?
Do you feel the sun on your back
And feel forgiven of all wrongs?
Do you wonder what it’s like
To have it all and realise
You will still take this life over anyone else?
