Far and Away

Like love is the appreciation of another’s existence 
Nature is a virtue of prospect 
An adjective of outer limits limited
Space, the moon
Explorations of new frontiers 
Nature is growth
The ability to process and approach 
This well being is all around you
When there is sickness at sea
Shelter only flatters the cold 
The chills only make your bladder seem old
If I was once told 
That nature was us 
A keep that we shelter in the category “Must”
Nature is trust 
The trees, the honey, the bees
The harsh winters that evergreen sees 
Nature is shorts, sandals, warm sleeves
Temperature, clouds, snow flakes 
Murky to clear lakes
Climate 
Nature is change that evolves into survival
Nature is life, death, the offspring, a revival
Hold on to yourselves, each other
And the elements that you have been given
Nature is you as long as the cycle is still living
