SPRINGOn a bus windowI look to the world under the sunThe sky is crystal blueAnd overlooks the clouds belowHanging heavy and low… Underneath stretch the greensSurrounded by beautiful treesThe flowers blossom away past the horizon,In the midst crosses a lonely railwayAnd the sight captures a momentToo overwhelming to say… As I watch the true picture of nature,Along unfolds the perfect setting of
