Thank you
The biggest thing
I've learned from
Nature is quiet patience.
Through phases of
Loneliness, I lay under
Rubbled rambles under
Buckeye trees, witnessed
Its silence and poise even
If the whistling wind
Ruffled their feathers,
Most days clear rain appears
And the weather vane
Spins in 360, birds and
Squirrels halted their
Squabbles until rains
Death midday. See,
I never had a dad but
Sometimes the Elm trees
Held me so high i felt like
I was flying. The sun taught
Me to exhume salutations
Even if I'm unrecognizable
In the situation, brushing
Off specs of soot from
Dancing dandelions,
I find beauty needs some
Attention before it is
Noticed, the brown eyed
Fawn slowly sipping from
The teal lake taught me
To digest everything slowly,
The lemon colored apple
Tree taught me i could
Be anything i need to be for me.
Nature has taught me to
Grow and laugh and adore,
It showed me that the path
Will end somewhere beautiful,
If only i show up quietly,
And at my own gentle pace.
