Keep Her Close

 

Quiet, thinking, in stillness I sat

Waiting for what, one could ask

 

For revelations, waiting for why

Impossible in youth I cannot deny

 

As if pondering life-long mysteries

And challenging byzantine-like histories

 

Why we are who we are

How we came this far

 

Where we go from here

Is there nothing we should fear

 

Control and shaped a world to our liking

Conquered with the deftness of a Viking

 

Yet she too waits, planning her future wins

If we forget, go too far, commit too many sins

 

Keep thinking, there is harmony in sight

Secrets of life, joining with mother nature is right

 

Keep her close, respect her needs

Future ensured with carefully planted seeds
