Nature's Plea

Nature's Plea

A Poem by Aprille
"

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. - Gary Synder

"

Listen…

Can you hear it?

The music…

scattered everywhere…

 

You don’t have to be a prodigy,

Just close your eyes

Open your heart

Listen…

 

The language of the water flowing downstream,

Touching each rock that can’t be as hard as it seems

Listen further…

You’ll hear the breeze carrying the song of the birds

The woodpecker, the mocking jay, the robin, the mighty eagle

They are knocking to your core…

hear our music… Understand our pleas

They are singing, to the beat of the sturdy bamboo trees

 

For they can’t speak the way humans do

They need someone to make their wishes come true

 

Listen to the spirit of the wind,

for it contains the song of every creature,

Hear the call of their lonely souls…

Holding on that this world will return to its original form.

This was beautiful and you are so correct, nature has its own song and if we do listen, we will fin just how melodic it is.

You are welcome.
Very well expressed. Love the cry for help and the message of listening to those who are blessed with the ability to take action but do not do so. Thank you for sharing.
