I believe nature is our teacher
that there are lessons in her trees...
in her flowers...
in her animals...
in her oceans...
in her seas...
She teaches us how life is beautiful...
how it’s wonderful to be alive.
She teaches us we need each other
in order to survive.
She teaches us how we’re all kindred spirits
every you…
and every I
How we’re meant to live harmoniously
with each other
with her winds...
her stars...
her sky…
But some of us have not been listening…
Some of us simply disobey…
Some of us seem to have forgotten…
Some of us have gone astray
Nature, however, is hopefully optimistic…
She knows if we will only heed her call
and practice the lessons she is teaching
she’ll make kindred spirits of us all.
