SIMPLE NATURE

Hidoko

Since I don't feel like doing anything today

Why not just go out to Nature

Bask in the sun's shower

And itch on the grass

Watch the clouds migrate

And study the shapes of them

Like those I see in Art Museum

Especially in the abstract section.
 
 

The life of city has washed my tears till they no longer flow

And the coldness of the crowds

No matter how hard I try

I can't find happiness

Sometimes it seems so simple

But difficulty overwhelms

And the currents pull me away

Into the chasms of darkness
 
 

I think I've caught hay fever

What with all the flowers

Birds fly overhead

Almost in echo to my sneezes.

Finally, I calm down,

To hear the murmurs of the leaves

And the whispers of the breeze.
 
 

Daydreaming natuarally comes

When the sun is out there shining

And birds are out there singing

But the choces I have

Are either to be locked up

Or to be lost in the crowd
 
 

To maintain the simple nature would be hard

But if that innocent voice is found in your heart

Listen to it tentatively
 
 

I finally realise happiness is right inside me.
