Everyone asks a question
already knowing the answer
without realizing it
without expecting an answer
so easily
I don't know what they expect
what you expect
or what I expected
It's really the simplest thing
humans are able to do
Insted of looking up at passing airplanes and skyscrapers
look in
look down
look around
at the things that really matter
The trees with the same patterns
as veins
The calming ebb and flow
of every water everywhere
The breaths
that everything important takes
The life
that happens
the same
everywhere

Wonderful!
this is awesome. I love the part that mentions "trees with the same patterns as veins"! and "The breaths that everything important takes." this is a really good write! I love it. It throws the reader into nature and finally shows people what the world is supposed to be about! Thanks!

intresting take on the prompt, very earthy and deep in vibe and really leaves the reader asking the question " what is nature trying to tell us" nice work thank you for entering.
