American Wilderness

Wind rustling

Birds chirping

Fire crackling

Energy courses through grass, trees, and dirt

Horns honking

Neighbors shouting

Sirens wailing

Energy courses through wires, lights, and cars

Different planets on one earth

One full of promise, refresh, and peace

One full of mundane, monotony, and strife

Paralleled in power, but opposite in output

Where rivers flow, instead traffic

Where animals graze, instead checkout lines

Tranquil horizons, instead televisions screens

Peace in freedom, chaos in unnatural order

Balance brought through recharge

Energy gathered in nature

Harvested like hydroelectric

Dispersed through daily routine

Breaths gathered in fresh air

Expelled in smog covered ordinary

Calm received in nature

Expressed in modern life

The wild energy source can be harvested whenever time is made to gather peace.

The American dream fueled by the American wilderness
