Willem Grift - humans gone

With humans gone

(I think these words, 
and think these thoughts 
with heavy heart)

with humans gone 
nature regains her majesty

and even when there are 
no human eyes to see,

beauty regains her reign 
and gods 
how great this beauty is, 
will be again, 
with humans gone

that had no eyes 
no heart 
but for the gain 
of power and possesion

climbed unto the thrones 
of gods 
or so they thought 
but fell like angels 
from the heaven 
of this earth,

this wonderful 
rich palace 
filled with majesty 
of multicolored life

that now returns 
with humans gone.
