Sometimes Nature Joins Life's Celebration
Sometimes Nature Joins Life's Celebration
Sometimes Nature joins life's celebration
giving generously beautiful scenes;
relief from man's saddest tribulations,
such rewards are worthy by any means.
Where morning sun glistens on dewy grass
glowing blue sky graces the live long day;
rests valley meadow in a mountain pass
where Nature dances forth in its own way.
When man finds this epic, beautiful view,
his first thought is this jewel to then own;
such lusting reveals his brain is askew,
and his head is as a dead and dry bone!
Nature is not ours to greedily tame.
For we as mortals, are one and the same!

NOTE: Wrote this from memory of a mountain meadow I once visited decades ago.
A memory so awesome that its not been lost, a view vividly burned into my mind.
Finished it, then I checked for the hundred one word count and found it was
dead on! My intuitive brain must have been counting all along.
Writing about Nature is a healing action for me, my day has brightened already.
