Can you see
as far as the stars in heaven
can you see
through the clouds in the night
you are not different from the waves
in the ocean
nor are you different
from the leaves on the tree

the flowers blossom in spring
and soon dry with the sun
when in summer the rain disappears
into the horizon and the lakes also run dry
no wonder in autumn
the branches remove their garment
to stand like a skeleton
without a shadow
and then winter brings the coldness
with the breeze
to replace the natural carpet
on the meadow

the volcano erupts from beneath the earth
and takes the spoil into barren ground
the earthquake caused the mountain
to tremble and the towers
come crashing to the ground
to answer the anger of the wind
the storm disrupts the flow of silence
in the sea
and the tornado bring down the bridges
to disrupt the peace and unity
that keeps a community together

you are not blind
but has the power of intelligence
to create
you are not deaf but have knowledge
to see the light of your soul
can you predict the future
should you be allowed to lead
the symbol of your birth
empowers you to succeed
never turn your back
against nature
she is still a mother indeed.
