Nature Is The Greatest Teacher

I spend most part of my evenings sitting under a tree,
watching its branches sway graciously to the movement of the wind.
The way they go with the flow amazes me,
maybe that can teach me to worry less and let things be.

I spend most part of my evenings sitting under a tree,
and it’s amazing the kind of things I see.
The birds live happily in twos and threes,
alongside ants, butterflies and bees.
Isn’t it crazy to think that almost all creatures on Earth live here for free,
but we humans have to pay a fee?

I spend most part of my evenings sitting under a tree,
and on certain occasions I’m joined by my Gees.
In those moments we neither argue nor disagree,
we just enjoy the silence and reflect on knowledge that can never be gotten from a degree.
