We are nature

Please do not misunderstand when I say” foolishness.” It is simply said to stop the flow, in order to grasp my point, of what is to follow.

 

We stand in awe of the mountains,

the sea births serenity,

we honor the earth and what it bears,

look to it, to feel free.

 

Ah, foolishness! We miss the point.

It’s part of you and me.

From the nature is whence we came,

thus nature sets us free.

 

Lose not the point that pushes us,

that makes us crave this earth.

We are a part of all we crave,

Immerse yourself in worth.

 

Of the mountain peaks we are part,

of the sea so are we,

of evergreens and old oak trees,

earth's vessels walking free.

 

So surround yourself in nature,

the waters of your soul.

Submerse yourself, with who we are,

a part of nature,  whole.

For we are a drop in the eternal ocean of energy, yet we are never alone in this world. We are all things and all things are part of our spirit. One can not live a part from the whole unless he is a splinter from the branch of the great tree of life without the knowledge of his origin.

Yes, i can hear it and it sounds like the soft, 'siff, siff" of grass blowing in an open field, and leaves twirling on their branches in the wind, and ocean waves receding on the sea shore (to put it simply). It seems I have found someone as drawn to nature as I am. This poem is filled with lovely imagery and a deep, spiritual feeling of being connected to nature.

[Raven Starhawk]

So potent and true. We are all nature, another of nature's designs and children that are here for such a short time but I believe we return to nature in some form or another. This was beautifully written and I love it.

Wow! I love the earthy connection your poem sends, along with the chills down my spine :) great job, this is amazing. I love the truth in your amazing descriptive words, and the message it sends to the heart of the reader.

The feel of power within the eteral sense of a being, nature if you will is soothing, well done, good read.

[Falling Leaf.]

As lovely as ever. Only found three errors: you misspelled whence in the second stanza. Also, Loose, in the third, should be lose. Finally, in the second to last stanza, earths needs to be earth's.
Other than that, superb! Well done!
