Into the background
The sky is grey
July is well underway

The grass soft to the touch
The wind blows lightly
I am at peace

Birdsong all around
An escape from reality
A world of chaos

Constantly changing
Evolving
I lay in the natural world’s embrace

But despite the nature all around
The distant sounds of man’s creations are forever present
For the modern world is always present

Forever looming over nature
Even as I stare at nature’s beauty
The sound of cars stays forever present

As nature
Fades
