The Way of Nature

I went deep into the forest

Asked of the trees

What should I learn? How should I grow?

They answered with fluttering leaves

I climbed the heights of mountains

Inquired of their majesty

What must I do to be consistent and patient?

They stared back at me with piercing stone

I dove deep into the flowing river

Pleaded, teach me how to let go!

With waves of grace

She washed over me

I set my eyes to the sky

How do I reach my goals?

With warm rays of sunshine

The birds carry on without a care

Nature cares not of manly things, and how is it to know we even exist, except by how we disrespect and disregard it's necessity, devastate and destroy its incomparable beauty?

After that, even if it had answers, why would they give them to us?

Reflections of a conscious mind, you again amaze us with your poetic skill … thank you, Poet, gratefully and sincerely for sharing! ~ Richard

Thank you for your comment. As im sure you saw, This poem is pointing to exactly what you're saying. Nature is most certainly not concerned with what we are so concerned about. However, i also ponder the idea, that even the things we feel are separate from nature are indeed part of nature, for we as humans are part of nature. I ask the question, is anything truly apart from nature? That however is not the focus of this poem. I like your question, would nature give us answers? When i reflect on that, i dont think it gives us answers so much as it is a living answer in itself, waiting to be grasped intuitively. Thank you for the thought provoking comment.

Very poetic words nice flow to my eyes. Someone can understant why nature is our mother. We can still feel old spirits like people at 6 century. It s great world. We can go back and re connected with spirit with our mother. Thanks for your poem.

I enjoyed the poem. Ending with simple logic.
"I set my eyes to the sky
How do I reach my goals?
With warm rays of sunshine
The birds carry on without a care"
