Can you hear it?
Grass rustling
Ice crackling
Streams flowing
Wind rushing
Tickling your ears

Can you feel it?
Pleasant sunlight
smoothly laying on your skin

Pleasant air, mellow breeze
as if wind spirits were
teasing you
t i c k l i n g   y o u
  c  a  r  e  s  s  i  n  g     y  o  u . . .

Can you see it?
Flowers blooming
as if it were
spring’s bombs

Plants full of lushness
like nymphs having a party

Summer rain sprinkling
the rain spirits’ rock band
drumming on the rooftop

Can you taste it?
Crisp sip from the stream
Freshly picked mangoes
Soft spring air
Tastes like cotton candy

Can you smell it?
Balmy warm air
like fresh homemade apple pie

Fresh flowers like a newborn baby
fresh as a daisy
as if it were the perfume
nature gifted every organism
that can smell

Natural odor of grass
the earth and the herbal scent
Tingling under your nose

Can you not
Hear
Feel
See
Taste
Smell
Anything?

Time is short
Time is precious
You should still take time to appreciate
The beauty of nature
