I took a stroll down the lane,
Getting ready to see like never before,
Packing my hair, so that I can concentrate,
Checking myself so that I do not disturb the air.
As I took my first step, my hair ruffle,
Quite surprising as air got into my hair.
As I took my second step, my skirt moved,
And I see a tree branch hold on to my skirt.
As I moved on, I saw the birds, not one, not two, not three,
All beauty full, all lovely, all staring at me.
I passed around them to avoid an interruption,
And as I looked back, alas, they followed me!
Immediately the sun shine on me,
Like a superstar on stage.
I could feel that it was just on me,
Like I was the reason why it had to shine.
Every move I made, it made also,
Every single step I took, it followed.
And then it started raining!
I ran into a house for shelter and then it stopped.
I came out again and the showers was profuse,
Like I was the reason for its downpour,
I ran back into the shelter, and it stopped!
At first, I was confused, lost,
wondering why nature was suddenly against me.
I saw the birds wink at me,
The sun smile at me,
The rain wash my feet,
And it hit me!
Why am I looking for nature
When I am nature itself?
Wow. Lovely ending.
But those typos…
Those typos…
