An ever evolving Earth

My heart has been an unsettling wave

Crashing over the rocks ferociously

Coming back to the sea everything

I feel like I need people

I don't know why the calm sea

Changed into an active threat

Everything, the dark clouds and the darkness penetrated my soul

Amidst the wind trying to unsettle me

I hold and hold on tight

To the ways I am

Yet a part of me is lost in the process

Sometimes I wonder if I could be an infinite cloud

Walking everywhere I can

Like a blanket surrounding the Earth

Yet I failed everytime

To see the sun, storms,thunder, lightning,

rains and rainbows

Changing along the way

I also thought of fixing myself

Like a root of a tree to the ground

To enjoy the scenic mountains

In the white background

Or the brown ones probably

One day the root got uprooted

I cried and I cried

Till I failed to understand what was happening

I lost myself over and over again

Yet I hoped for the best

Because unpredictability and uncertainty is what makes a life

Not the beauty of the world perceived by others

In an ever evolving Earth.
