"The ancient Greeks called the world {kosmos}, beauty. Such is the constitution of all things, or such the plastic power of the human eye, that the primary forms, as the sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves; a pleasure arising from outline, color, motion and grouping."

My verse will be directed to myself but still to this world. As I will make myself a better person and seek a life of originality. I will seek for ideas that will not only benefit myself, but benefit others. I will live a life of simplicity but I will also declare myself to embetter the life of children, contributing to our future, the future of our world. So they can live healthy lives as they grow, yet grow into people who will look at the positive ways of living, like I will.

The sun is going down,
But we're running around.
No looking down,
But only looking around.
Looking around at the light,
Trying to feel alive.
For the purpose of dividing ourselves from reality,
Seeking a life filled with originality.
Trying to live transcendentally.

The dark sky is glowing with stars,
Reminding us of our home, afar.
Guiding us to where we are now,
Living away from town.
Still searching for a purpose,
To possibly bring others to newness.
But what good will this bring?
A life without suffering?
It will bring a life  of living happily,
Living transcendentally.

Transcendentalism teaches people to model themselves after nature in order to become self-reliant individuals who, in turn, are able to fully and positively contribute to society by exposing them to nature and different views and ways of living.
