Of all Nature's beings, three strike me as significant.

The Bird. Creatures of the limitless blue.
Admired by many, its ability I admire.
With wing and flap, it leaves the earth.
Soaring above reason and pain.
It's life, no boundaries.
It's state, free.

The Sloth. Creatures of passive nature.
Misunderstood, its potential I admire.
Slow, as if ignored by time. Strong as if unbelievable.
The strength to carry his own, to swim rivaling fish.
Simply without a burden to care for.
Does not work, for it does not have to.

Man of Earth. The dominant creature.
Advanced in intellect, its condition I pity.
Trapped by desire to move forward,
they made problems they are unable to carry themselves.
Bound without wings, swimming in self made burden.
Farthest by mind, smallest in life.
The ability to dream, their blessing and their curse. Our curse.

Nature's cruel balance mocks us all.
Okay, since I'm new at poetry, I tend to write in pattern XD. Sorry if it's a bit dark, but I've done it while I was feeling down...
