Raised in earth with natureA Poem by MPetersPoems&shortstoriesits about nature and growing with it as a young personRaised
in earth with nature Be
anew Resound
there, right there Play
with the wind Move
as one Let
your grass move as one First
left, then right Grass
move with the wind It
washes you It
keeps you cool Be
anew within yourself And
with me, grass nature It
grows , young start refreshed with new shoots It
is timeless It
must b a timeless plant Grass
most abundant Green
for animal eating or for my garden later
brown Brown
as dust itself Dry
brown Thurst
again? Become
anew the
creatures and lions will lie on it And
busk under the African sun For
just a while, they will enjoy rest On
the brown, dry Grass Become
anew Become
again, green ever fresh in my Tororo hills and grass plains Evergreen
that color of freshness, sweetness And
aroma Her
green latious color Pure
nature All
pure nature it is Look
at it Untouched,
unspoiled Growing
wildly Growing
freely Let
it grow I
grow with the grass I
a child once Crawled
on these plains Ran
and stumbled And
I laughed on this smooth grass It
sometimes grew taller than me Much
taller I can recall Very
mysterious what was behind it Very
intruiging Come
lets play Lets
run around that grass The
grass played with us Swishing
and swashing From
side to side We
laughed with the grass Dad
called us back Its
late You’ll
play tomorrow We
cant wait for tomorrow Tomorrow
is tomorrow Tomorrow
is the yesterday that we had fun in The
grass my friends Tomorrow
is last year now Tomorrow
is a new season, a new age Tomorrow
is 14 years past Tomorrow
is all those memories Tomorrow
I will sit on the grass And
remember tomorrow as today Hello
grass Hello
nature I
am older now, But
you look the same, feel the same Are
the same You
have become anew Over
and over and Over
again And
then again How
splendid How
softening you are to my heart Making
me remember the care freee Times I
am soothed, the toil And
work of the day Is
soothed away Become
anew in me Become
anew You
shall cross your leaves And
I shall cross my legsand We
shall look more deeply at horizon dawns Early
mist Vapourising
and Disappearing
as early Sun
rises and ray warms Our
skin Igniting
a cool warmth That
softens our bodies Our
skin that was held rigid by cold Then
we shall move closer to The
sun Feel
its radiance Its
warmth permeate Our
very souls Yes
the grass does have a kind of soul It
chooses to grow here Where
I sit and Not
there in the dry land It
decides where it likes to grow And
how it wants its leaves To
follow the suns rays It
therefore thinks Those
little trees with roots and shoots Ha!ha!HA!
TELL ME AGAIN, it thinks A
soul of a kind A
kind of majic A
magic of tranquility A
tranquility patient A
patience that grows within and Outwards It
speaks to me to you without words. © 2013 MPetersPoems&shortstories
