Poem Title:
Poem
I wonder when Mother Nature was creating our world…from the mountains to the sea If, in the beginning, she started out with one flower, one bird, one butterfly and one tree. When she brought each one to life…when she set their spirits free did she smile then whisper to herself how wonderfully unique and beautiful is that one flower, one bird, one butterfly…one tree. I wonder when she saw each one’s singular beauty…a beauty she’d never experienced before If her heart began to beat a little faster and her mind began to soar. Did she wonder to herself…how beautiful the world would be If there were more than just one flower, one bird, one butterfly…one tree. I wonder did she think after giving each a name… what if I made each new one a little different…what if no two were the same. As she created each new tree with it’s own unique beauty…no matter how tall or short or wide did she imagine how beautiful would be the forest where all trees stood side-by-side? As she gave each new bird a different voice to be carried on the breeze… did she imagine the beauty when those voices harmonized from inside the shelter of her trees. As she created each new flower to be a little different… each one it’s own beautiful surprise did she imagine the beauty a field of flowers would possess… with each one a different color, shape and size. As she created each butterfly to have their own beauty, wonderment and power… did she imagine what a beautiful sight it would be…when butterfly meets flower. Doesn’t it stand to reason…if with the flowers, birds, butterflies and trees Mother Nature went to all that fuss… that she’d go to just as much trouble…when she created us? That she would give all humans similar features…unique in our own way creating us all the same…but different…with our uniqueness on display. Perhaps she meant for us to come together…and when we come together to see that same beauty she created in the flowers, the birds…the butterflies and the trees. But in all our years upon this Earth…despite Mother Nature’s best efforts… seeing our combined beauty is one of her wishes we have yet to fulfill… which makes me wonder…if Mother Nature wonders… that perhaps…we never will.
