Anil Deo Poet Prose Poetry

Nature Love Is Self-Love, For Healthy Organs and Secretions

I
The former Minister said, "You are born out of the world,"
Not into it! Think of a flower, How is it born?
Myriads of marvelous blooms are born into the world
And we, humans, want to be sui generis, alone!

II
When you think of a wonderful waterfall, serene
Your (thyroid &) internal organs calibrate your fuel efficiently
By forsaking angry thoughts, envy ... you are naturally
Healing your body & mind, or slowing their decay

III
Loving Nature, thanking plant & animal as you say Grace
Much as Amerindians did before, during, after hunt & growth
So close were they (but without Jesus), sensing Spirit in all
Perhaps erring only in valuing Creation more than tribal foes

IV
So while I celebrate a natural life, tuned to the universe
I believe the words in Scripture (Romans 1)
Free-willed humans worship created things, idols made by us
Not the Creator, who gave all tribes rules to control NUMBER 1

V
In concluding this sermon of a poem, readers
I evoke a smile from you, about social distancing:
We have been practicing it for too long with Nature
When COVID19 returns humans to more "natural managing."

Timothy Hicks May 6, 2020 at 7:16 PM I like your spiritually laced sentiments here. Let the closeness of nature bring us closer to the Creator (in admiration, but not in worship of the objects themselves). And on the other extreme ... we can be too far removed from that natural world being stuck in our man-made boxes, full of sharp angles, and our technology-ridden existence ... that makes God invisible to us. It's a balancing act trying to find that "Goldilocks Zone". Anil Deo May 6, 2020 at 11:05 PM And, shalom in Him, I love how you leave good, robust comments when you read others. It is truly a mark of a spiritual & generous soul (Some promise to defend U with their lives, & won't give you a "thank you.") I am seeing myself not an an INDIVIDUAL in this universe, but part of what a Creator would want to happen on the stage. One act plays are not that common ... as compared to full-length, all-ensemble shows. Amen GLORY to Jesus.
