And there I am,
Lying on the ground
As the rain is pouring down
And the wind is scraping past me
And the mud is sliding beneath me,
Yet the mountains stand fierce.
The skies are greyer than ever,
Stirring like a storm
And there are flowers around me,
Pretty pinks and purples too
But please
Let me lie here,
Let me hear the wind roar.
Let the rain battle me,
And hit me like
Splints.
My fingers feel cold, numb
As the dirty mud washes me,
The hills circle around me,
And the grass is filling up,
Like a bath
Now the river will carry me,
As I am floating
Away
Because nature does not care,
It will take you where it wants;
No questioning the water,
Fire or air.
They work as always,
But how strong is your fight?
They will catch you even with
Your strongest sight
It will damage you, the earth
Yet those flowers are still growing,
Rainbows are forming and nature
Is changing
So guide me along your long
Turning, changing veins,
Let me float on top of them,
And take me to wherever
They are flowing
There are universal patterns:
Have you seen the neurons in the twigs of trees?
Have you seen our veins in rivers and
The rivers in the leaves?
Nature is part of us,
As we are part of it.
It builds us as we
Build upon it.
So breathe,
As it gives you a breath
Nature,
You are the start and the end.
Let the world know,
And the world can be shown;
Change your view,
And the things you look at
Change
Then I am a part of you
Always,
Whether you decide I am the bark
Or the leaf.
The rock or the bone;
The breathing or the matter
You can blow me away,
You allow the beautiful,
The destruction too
It seems you made the choices
Before we ever had a clue
So please,
Let me lie,
Let me float,
Let me be
Blown away.
