This bright sun
with a heartbeat of fire,
its rays kiss my skin.
This warm earth
with a strength none may compare,
a promising home for years to come.
This crystal sky
with arms that have a mirror's gleam
and a rain that gives birth to life.
This vast sea
with a power of seven armies
and waves that roll like words of a poet's tongue.
This world-our world,
with a perfection that shall slowly fade
Like a canvas painted in a fantasy dream.
