Comprehensible Yet Unfathomable

 Monsoon - such a serene phenomenon!

The rains, the breeze and the birds

Chirping away on their quest to

One day span the whole entire horizon.

I woke up today to a rain

Feeling so full of energy,

More than confident to go out

And win a war all by myself!

It's funny, though, how the same rain

Can alter the ambience so discreetly

On different days.

It can make you feel melancholic

And so very gloomy -

And you wouldn't even know why!

Yet at the same time,

It can make you feel so centred and enthusiastic,

You'd feel as though

You were the young, ever-bubbly 'Bambi',

Or the carefree 'Simba' of his childhood.

How intriguing nature itself is!

And yet we go about discovering new ways

To only complicate our existence by a little more everyday.

One day we're learning trigonometry,

And another, we're learning calculus -

All of it on a hunt

To finally begin

To understand the ways of the world around us.

We shut ourselves away from the true world,

Confined within four-walled classrooms,

Trying to understand the world.

Is that how it really works, though?

Is that what makes us

The smartest species on Earth?
