Let the pain not stop you.

Awe at the magnificent above,

and sense the explosion scuffling tectonics within the sea.

Gaze at the sky smudged blue,

and let it remind the red shrouds of other’s misery for you.

Hearken to forest’s deafening darkness,

and empathise with the lifeless soul you let them come to be.

Mesmerize the river’s vibrant burbling over rocks and pebbles,

and reminiscence the dead its holiness dipped them in.

If that not be your zest,

Let the waterfall take your breath away,

just like you did theirs.

Ascend the pristine glacier atop the mountain,

and never to peep at the boneyards left behind.

Rise high and above only to shed off senses of humane,

and let not the cries of the burning arrest you.
