PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today I’m grateful for the art of Mother Nature…

her landscapes I prefer…

for no artist who ever was 

or is 

can paint any better than her

May we be blessed to understand…

nature is not just a place to visit…

to experience…

to roam…

She is so much more than that…

For she always has been

is

and always will be

our shelter

our sanctuary

our home.

May we be blessed to understand 

from the moment we come out of the womb

how Mother Nature should never be thought of as a resource…

but more as treasure…

an heirloom

Take any walk upon this Earth and quickly you will see

how the one we call Mother Nature is a woman of mystery.

Like any woman of mystery she has features over time she will reveal 

as well as little secrets of her own she prefers to keep concealed.

Like how sitting by a stream can help to ease one’s pain.

how a dew drop smiles on a leaf…or how a flower greets the rain.

Like why rabbits hop in silence while mockingbirds songs are loud…

or why there is a peacefulness among the trees and serenity in the clouds.

Like why are sharks so fierce as they swim the seven seas

while there is nothing more gentle…more tender 

than the giant manatee?

Oh…but when I stop to think about Mother Nature’s mysteries

I don’t really want to know…

why in a place that seems impossible…a single flower grows.

In truth there are so many wonders of nature I hope I never find the reasons why…

like how a sunrise or sunset can paint so many colors across the sky.

It’s simple really…as I walk upon the Earth each morning…

on whatever of her wonders I happen to gaze….

I’ll let Mother Nature keep her secrets…

because…I prefer to be amazed.
