writing help: Somewhere shines the sun all day, and animals come and go. - Help.com

Somewhere shines the sun all day, and animals come and go.

Somewhere shines the sun all day, but where I do not know.
Somewhere blows a cool clean wind, and green grasses grow.
Somewhere blows a cool clean wind, but where I do not know.
Somewhere sings a song bird, and the clearest rivers flow.
Somewhere sings a song bird, but where I do not know.
But if you’ve seen the sun all day,
And watched the animals come and go,
And if you’ve felt the cool clean wind,
And watched the grasses grow,
And if you’ve heard the song bird,
And saw the rivers flow…
Then I truely envey you,
You lived some time ago!

Actually, point to the middle of nowhere on a map and sit on the grassy hill or embankment there and you will see that which you have written.

We grow tired cold and weak.
Time to go the hour is bleak.
Love to dispair,
Death in the faces,
Song to a wisper,
Truth erased…

The future’s never certain
is the only certain thing.
Denial is futility
as what will come will be.
The only constant here
is the passing of the years.
But you’ll never see tomorrow till it hits you
It might be bright, might be bleak, might be only tears.
But you’ll never see tomorrow till it hits you
so come back here to today.
But you’ll never see tomorrow till it hits you.
Don’t waste your life away.

Very beautifully said. However there are things we can do today that can change tomorrow. We can change the future…if we care to.

Wow, it is a strong message.
I felt it it refered to the world before it was corrupted by man.
A paridice not from our time. One we should have had and all want but now we have to pay for our carelessness if we are to obtain that world.
I am lucky as I feel I live in one of the small places left that hasnt been too damaged…
I live alone in a house in a forest,by a stream surrounded by animals and birds.. it is my santury. Your poem made me think of where I live… I am so lucky, just wish my heath was better..
