Natural Changes

We live in a matrix
A world filled with special things.
All of these special things are vivacious
They all have spirit and animation.
But in this matrix the vivacious objects aren't just humans and animals they are spurious objects; some of these objects are amenities, things we think we need.
In our matrix there are spurious objects and things of vivacity, but there is also nature, the most beautiful part of all.
The waves, trees and the wind that is undulant like the waves in the ocean.
The Undulant wind when it is in a vehemence mood can be a very dangerous part of our matrix.
But there isn’t just danger there is beauty.
We live in a changing matrix, from summer to fall to winter and spring.
The summer when the flowers are in bloom and the sun makes you feel warm.
Fall when the leaves change and begin to fall and you can feel the changing once more in the season.
Winter the coldest change but the most beautiful change of all.
When you look all you see is white like a brand new piece of paper covering the ground like gossamer covering a cut.
Then we have spring when the birds fly home and the trees and flowers begin to blossom.
Spring is the season when you hear the natural music.
There are many beautiful and unique parts in the matrix that we live in.
But the most beautiful part is the natural changes.
