Mother Nature

Deep in the valley

When thunder roars

It stirs my spirit

In so many ways

I dance in the rain

It cleanses me

A purification of all my shame,

Mother Nature

Lending a helping hand

And grateful of her abilities

I most certainly am,

I bask in the elements

While others hide

I prefer riding the thoroughbred outdoors

Than staying near the warm hearth

They can't keep my spirit

From taking flight,

I'm ready to implode

My emotions run about

They seem to want to explode,

Such a lucid landscape

The allure of it is overwhelming

Breath taking if you will

An artistic view

And yet my spirit still brewing,

Walking down the path thinking

This I would love to own

This great divine

A place to call home,

A place where my spirit can soar

No matter how long

Before I'm too old

And no longer be able to embrace 

The land and the shore.

We all feel the embrace of our "Mother" in our won way. i enjoyed feeling your experience here today. Your write was easy to get lost in and gave me the urge to go out and explore!
My time in nature has been too little of late...
Thank you for the visual.

I like the subject matter and what you are saying about it, I can relate to this and have written something similar recently 'Naked'. I particularly like the line 'I am ready to implode' there is a real commitment in the choice of those words. Be at one with nature.

A beautiful poem on my favorite topic. I like the places you took me with your words. In the hands of nature. There is no better place. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really love the zen feeling to this poem, I was brought up by hippies so this mood I can totally appreciate! The only thing I'd say is, watch how it's structured.
For example,
"I dance in the rain
It cleanses me"
While this is honest and uncluttered by pretentiousness, as nature is, I still feel unlinked sentences in a way dislodge the beautiful idea you are portraying. Still, I think you've done a great job. :)

I got lost in this delightful piece., you can feel the gentle breeze on your face just reading this. Got tripped up when I got to
'I prefer riding the thorough bred through the outdoors' seems maybe a condensed version might work better for flow.

I prefer riding the thoroughbred outdoors.

Other than that, I loved it!
