Why I Love Nature

Glass, chrome and steel city life, leaves me cold; Sterile structures offer naught to behold. A bland crowded downtown arranged by man Blocks the beauty inherent in God’s plan. Total honesty reigns but in nature; She wears no mask to seek people’s favor. Man seeks to taint nature with greedy builds. Ignorant egos would see nature killed. Being outside, I may reside with God. Outside, I may behold life void of fraud, Shake off grime from society’s deceit And feel peace from nature’s sincere heartbeat. Nothing man made can sooth my spirit’s core. Nature’s pure dynamics heal and restore. June 5, 2016

Your poem shows the coldness of man's construction and the warmth of nature and why you embrace one and pull away from the other..good luck in the contest
