Nature Heals

Crawling in the clouds
Lifting the limitless
Above the abandoned
Searching for sorrows
End…

We hope for honesty
Listen with lingering hope
Promising pumpkin pie
Towards the timid
Leaves…

Saving the sand-dollars
For making modern discs
Of flying frisbees
That float over favorite
Subjects…

Becoming the beautiful
Through hours of horrid
Darkness which destiny
Seems to evoke simultaneously
Open…

Where nature nurtures me
By its calming caring culture
And life honors the living
With Fall coming fervently
The end leaves subjects open…

Open!

In a frenzied world we really do have to stop and smell the roses. Nature holds many helpful medicines that are not taken in pill form. Very nicely written, Russell.
