“Sorrow Lies in Beauty.

The thunder rolls across the sky,
Raindrops falling,
The sky weeps.
The sky weeps for the beauty of the earth,
And for the sorrow that it is ruined.

The wind howls,
A chorus of voices,
Screaming with the sky,
The wind howls in anguish,
That the earth is lost.

The tree whispers,
Begging the wind to rustle its leaves,
Asking the sky to shed its tears,
To nurture it’s growth.
The tree whispers its losses.

The sun glares,
Silent and furious,
Scorching the earth without regard,
For the earth is lost.
The sun burns in fury.

The earth is grateful,
Drinking the tears of the sky,
Calming the howling wind,
Giving the tree a home,
Forgiving the sun.
The earth is oblivious.”

“They say that some things are worse than death. That might be true. Probably is.
But life and death are the beginning and end of beauty. You can't have one without the other.”
