Mother Nature

  

A crystal clear stream that reflects

Images of dreams

Flows towards endless destinations.

 

The sun cast endless rays of light

Upon the dark

To show it doesn’t last forever.

 

The wind sings a sweet tune

For everyone

So we know we are not alone.

 

A small bud gracefully blooms

Into a flower

Just like child into an adult.

 

To appreciate Mother Nature

Is the key to loving life.

You are so right, our world is full of so much beauty but for some odd reason most of us seem to always be focusing on the bad things , why can't we just enjoy all the beautiful and wonderful things that God has given us instead of tormenting ourselves with whats wrong with it or how we can change it.
Beautifully written Dale , as always .
You have given us much to think about.
Another gem for the vault.

These are my favorite lines. The wind definitely is company at many times. And to appreciate nature is such a major part of loving life. Another Excellent piece, Dale!

This is such a graceful write that speaks of goodness of life as it blends and relates to nature....the stream, the sun, the wind, and the bud that bursts forth with grace, and reminds us of how much we are connected to nature.

I like the free flowing form, and the comparisons you have used! It is a short write, but has so very much meaning within its lines!

How true! Mother Nature gave us the greatest gift- a beautiful planet full of amazing things to enjoy. The fact that most of the population overlooks it all is a sad reflection on the human race. I wish people would stop and look around every once in a while. Fantastic poem :]

Wow.. very enlightening.. your beginning stanza with images of dreams flowing towards endless destinations.. is so true of everything in life itself.. endless doorways and possibilities beginning in one's own mind it can than source into even everyday life.. here found in nature itself! The sun casting endless light rays upon the dark.. and so true again.. nothing lasts forever. We sometimes need the dark to find the light.. to appreciate the beauty and power of it! A small bud blooming into a child metaphor.. brilliant.. and embracing all that is mother nature.. the beauty held in this world.. is LOVE. Inspirational.. love the flow and meaning! Thank you for another very free-feeling and loving write! =)
