nature

Trees dancing in the breeze,

spreading bark and leaves,

I sit and watch nature’s beauty

It’s God’s gift to you and to me.

We live in a world full of beautiful places.

Why do we take it for granted?

Why do we insist on destruction?

 Are we just telling God we don’t love Him?

I love the questions in this piece, such a write that points out the beauty in the world. "Why do we take it for granted?" I really like that line.

spreading bark and leaves,"

What's wrong with people? We have plenty of stuff in the world, Why can't we just enjoy the beauty of nature? Goood job with making us think about some of the things in nature and how it's being destroyed daily.

this reminds me of my own home. I live in the middle of the smoky mountains and the are continuasly tearing down trees to make attractions.

I think most of us (especially most poets) have turned this question over in our minds. It's been a sore spot with neo-romantics since the Industrial Revolution. If only it were as simple to answer as it is to ask. There are so many human needs and drives at work in the way we use and abuse this lovely planet. I like to think that the urge to preserve it is one of our nobler ones, and maybe it will eventually help balance our insatiable drive to produce with our respect for God's creation ...maybe.
