Mind Opening

Elevated, looking down on nature's elegance
a river flows with blessedness.
Teenagers traverse the trail directionless,
without need to follow their compasses.
Animals: the forests’ main residents;
mosquitoes bite with aggressiveness.
Wolfs find food without resistance,
as deer evade predators with effectiveness.
The path chosen remains irrelevant, 
as we brush off the final sediments.


The more we explore,
we open our mind to nature’s endlessness,


gazing upon a sky flooded with darkness;
twinkly friends guide me when I’m restless.
Shooting stars fall preciously,
the moon, full and gracious.
Boys lay alone on a cold ground with patience,
wanting to run free fighting temptations 


As we explore,
we open our mind to nature’s elegance.
