What does this mean??

[DJQuackQuack]

Alright, first off NOT MY POEM, it's my best friend's offline and he writes poetry time to time. He wrote this one recently for fun and said he has no idea what kind of meaning it has, if any at all. SO, I ask you all of KHI to read and both critique and take a swing at what you think it means.

No right or wrong answers, just your opinion.

Sit next to me
and clearly see
whats free to see,
the world and nature's own beauty.
Huddled trees,
open seas,
the calming breeze,
reflect in it if you so please

But it is unfair to say
that today
is here to stay,
when tomorrow
moves not so slow
to carry away
what is today
and leave but a trace of yesterday

minds move slow time moves fast,
memories we own won't last
of days that have already passed.
We'll be asked but won't recall,
nature's own beauty is all
but a mask.
What is today will turn to past
as we seek for peace at last

It seems pretty straightforward to me. Are you confused about certain parts, or what?

lol Well I lack any poetic skills, so just asking what your view is on the poem. What is the message I guess of the poem. Or is there even one?

The poem sounds good. The story behind it I think is going through life but noticing everything you can and not taking things for granted.

I think the message is that as time passes by, we start to forget things. As for the whole "nature's beauty is a mask" I think it symbolizes how appearances only mean so much and what truly counts is what's on the inside.
