Analysis of A Moment Too Beautiful to Pass
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
A leaf falls softly from the tree,
Drifting gently to the ground below,
Its journey ends, but it's free,
To dance and play with the wind's flow.
The sun shines down upon the earth,
Glistening on the dewy grass,
The world awakens with new birth,
A moment too beautiful to pass.
Birds sing their sweet melodies,
Echoing through the morning air,
Their harmonies a symphony,
A song of hope beyond compare.
The world is full of wonder and awe,
Of beauty beyond what we can see,
If we take a moment to pause,
We'll find peace and tranquility.
