LET IT GO AND LET IT BE

Leaves blissfully swirl and twirl
 Before finally falling on the ground, 
Cheating the trees.

The waves of the sea flow towards the shore,
But slither back, away to the endless distances and depths,
Cheating the coast.

After letting the sky savor their presence,
The clouds float away somewhere afar,
Cheating the skies.

I relish the winds blowing towards my face,
But they suddenly change their path,
Cheating me.

Nature does Cheat sometimes,
But it is just too beautiful a scene.
So I just let it go and let it be…
