Below is a poem I wrote inspired by the peace, joy and reprieve being in nature provides me.
What do you find in nature? Let me know in the comments below.
Nature, teach me how to live
To embrace change and
Flow effortlessly like the steady stream
To embody the wisdom of the trees
Who shed their leaves in the fall
Scattering their vibrant colours and
Peculiar shapes across the forest floor
So to can I
Learn to let go
Liberate and regenerate
For refresh and renewal
Nature, you do not judge
Night from day
Calm from storm
Chaos from order
What seems split in two, is all but one
And you do not rush
With time and ease
All that needs to be done is done
Nature, let me learn from you
Let me immerse myself in the vast natural world
For I am you, and you are I
I am you, you-I
