Sage birds enjoy their singing
and I enjoy to hear
their voices brightly ringing,
bringing sweetness to my ear.

Wise flowers enjoy the sunshine;
their round faces beam with smiles
and their bright joy becomes mine;
their beauty making life worthwhile.

All the clouds, like Aristotle,
hunch over in the skies
but, dozing, I forget all
thoughts, just watching them drift by.

Thanks, Julie. My sister was writing an essay about Epicurus and Aristotle as part of a university course and Epicurus, an ancient greek philosopher, believed very strongly in the importance of simple pleasures and that man's goal in life was happiness while Aristotle believed that man's purpose was contemplation and that's why I've portrayed him as a cloud floating in the sky. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
