The Nature of Things

The Nature of things From inner core to outer sphere From outer space a sight so mere A phenomenon so impressive Waters of oceans aggressive Mountains and valleys so deep Forests and jungles that creep Microscopic invisible to the eye Organisms mutate and multiply Plenty life in the seas and rivers Warm climates or some make you shiver Air that billows and twists Winds gather up clouds or move mist Soil of the crust helps us grow Trees drop more seeds to sow Roots to anchor our souls Mother Nature takes control While humans and animals exist The nature of things often missed We strive to survive, stay alive How can we help the earth thrive?

Beautiful, Laura! Full marks to you! My answer to "How can we help the earth thrive?" is very simple...let us not keep interfering with nature; let us allow nature to follow the creator's original plans. ~ Hope you are keeping well:) Warm regards...paul

Awww, thank you Paul, very kind of you! I love your response to my question, i agree, nurture all of our nature and not try to change or destroy it. Hoping to squeeze more time in to both read and write poetry. Life is so busy right now! Hope you are well and i'll drop by for a read of your latest and greatest very soon ;) warm regards, Laura.
