Listen To Nature

Original Poem By: Michaelson Williams Title: Listen to Nature Listen to nature The birds, the trees Pay close attention to the falling of the leaves Understand this is but only one life Unnecessary to cut tension with a knife Remembering when you were a child Knowing nothing more than happiness through a smile Learning to walk by taking baby steps Parts of the journey we try to forget Pushing the memories down, often hoping they quit Rising back to the surface refusing to submit Pain and drama often showing as fear Nothing in this life intrinsically clear Everything we know is but only a notion A mixture of dreams, one colossal potion Positives and negatives on which we will feed Not knowing exactly which ones to believe Standing in the rain, feeling every drop Praying to something, hoping it stops Let IT go and listen to nature Turn your gaze; she wants you to face her Let everything go, plant a new crop Only then will you realize, that you are the rock The fire, the water, and even the wind Listen to Nature, embrace her within. Expand your mind Set off into the Universe Open the doors in which you haven’t rehearsed Listen to Nature
