Strange how soil reeks of death
Takes away every soul's last breath
Yet in its grasp it holds flowers
Roses and daisies sparkling in golden hours.
Strange how oceans with such a gentle breeze
Could swallow a person beneath the seas
Soft waves that kiss the shore
Twirling tsunamis that reach the core
Cliffs and mountains with breathtaking views
Yet on the edge, one step away from letting loose
One mistake, and everything's gone
So pause and reconsider , a new beginning
awaits at dawn.
Strange how beautiful yet haunting nature could be
Maybe one day I would be set free
To explore the wonders of this world
Secrets and mysteries that stay unfurled

Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it.
Death seen as a friendly source and a renewer of life. Well written and composed.
Thank you
You are most welcome
Truly is strange... Love the contrast and paradox sustained throughout. I personally believe that there's mercy even in the cruelty of nature. We as humans just don't have the eyes to see or rationalize it.
