Nature

I am the world,
So gleaming, so bright,
Eternal light,
Without one dusky cloud insight!
Life so vivid, dazzling, beaming,
Thriving to amaze,
If not in perfection,
It certainly has affection!
Despite this ring true,
Some places in the world are gloomy like drooling dew,
So toxic and withering,
So little hues, that deafen life like a big bruise.
From the ashes, there they rise,
Thriving once more with a new life,
Dangers and difficulties leak through the cracks,
Nature soothes and mends them with healing acts.
