Greetings, friends! This month the theme is “Nature”, and so many things came to mind, so I’ve decided to write about it all in poem form. Hope you enjoy.
Great majesty of Nature
Cathedrals of trees, creating an
Endless cycle of life
Birds, bugs, all non-human creatures-
Living together without expectations
But only existing to their fullest
It’s the Nature of Things.
The back-handed compliment,
A trusted secret shared
Comments made in jest that intend to hurt
But of course, not – “I’m only kidding”
It’s the Nature of Things.
The violet unfolding its petals on the front lawn
Doesn’t worry about the dandelion next to it-
It blooms without competition, but rather in
Compliment to the others blooming beside
It’s the Nature of Things.
Discarding someone suddenly without cause
Gossips with their tongues fiery and pointed
Trying desperately to have others see you as superior
Because you are suffering from immense inferiority
It’s the Nature of Things.
Geese roaming freely by the water
Ducks walking past and birds flying by-
No quarrels or fights, no confrontations
Each just going about their daily life
It’s the Nature of Things.
Friends who lift you up
When you are down
Those who love you when you can’t
Find a way to love yourself
The ones who show love freely,
Just because they care
It’s the Nature of Things.
Sun shining down on the water
Ripples in the sand
Stones rounded by time and erosion
Yet made more beautiful from it all
It’s the Nature of Things.
Passing time that softens the blows
Making you stronger, even when you don’t feel it
Rising like a phoenix from the ashes
of what you had always known
But no longer served you
It’s the Nature of Things.
Nature knows harmony
There is no pretense
Only we as humans live to deceive
And should learn from the simplicity of
What is all around us- It could be so easy
It’s the Nature of Things.
