A beautiful nature poem?

Question

I didn't write this poem, but I felt it was so beautiful I had to post it on here.

Leaves of green turn to shades of brown

Then leave their stems just to flutter down

Smells of the sea join the evening breeze

As newborn stars start to fill the trees

With blanket underneath and the sky above

I wonder why it is I never fell in love

Silence speaks though my tongue retreats

And dew lays thick on my hands and feet

The sky grows gray like the thoughts in mind

And I look back at the road I've just left behind

Fire brims the surface of a waking land

It overflows across the sky and the ocean's sand

The roars of waves reach an ultimate high

And a seagull wakes with its screeching cry

I stretch my arms and brush my eyes clear of sleep

Undreamt dreams are what I wish to keep

But I gather my blanket and wrap them safely inside

Like the sand on my feet, I let my longing for them slide

As I walk back toward the road I see others running past

The clouds they kick up in the air never last

But no one ever stops running just to lie on that sand

To escape from the world and hold our dreams in our hand
