Natures Wisdom

A Poem by Aarti Sriram

                                  Natures Wisdom



A huge storm came, and the mighty trees fell,

In no time at all, such strong, deeply rooted oaks were uprooted.
Yet the humble grass, the strength of the pastures, remained,
Small blades, thin and weak, bent and swayed with the storm.

They lay rooted, enduring the flood and destruction,
While the giants crumbled, lost in the storm’s eruption.
When should we stand strong like the oak,
And when should we bend like the grass in the storm's choke?

O nature, you teach us through countless examples,
If only we knew when to make and whom to embrace as our teacher.
In this life full of opportunities, relationships, and wisdom,
May we learn when to stand tall, and when to yield with grace.

Your shared great wisdom Aarti and I do agree. I am 1/2 Ojibwa and I love the forest and the lake/rivers.
"In this life full of opportunities, relationships, and wisdom,
May we learn when to stand tall, and when to yield with grace."
