Nature’s Worth

The trees don't know that we're locked inside

The sun hasn't heard that we're forced to hide

Clueless are the flowers whose eyes see no smiles

As leaves gather in undisturbed, unmoving piles

The beach wonders why it has become a vacated place

The sky questions why so few now gaze upon its face

But nature remains patient, and nature remains strong

Somehow, it senses we'll soon be back where we belong

A time will come when we'll return to run, skip, and play

A time will surely come, even if it is not today

With a soft breeze against our skin and our feet on the earth

And maybe then we'll treasure, even more, nature's worth
