It Didn’t Matter Anyway
It Didn’t Matter Anyway….
Liberation is knowing what is,
Ignorance is not.
What is, is always simply what is,
So liberation and ignorance
Are both ephemeral phenomena;
Mere waves of perception
On the surface of vastness.

Birds, Bees, Creatures and Nature
The wise old owl with an eagle eye,
Who spied a blackbird as it flew by
The vulture could smell the decay
Of the carnage killed that day
Flesh and blood ooze from the prey
Of bodies and carcases on display
The hungry vulture swooped,
To join other vultures in the group
Squabbling over a piece of meat
Although there was plenty left to

Me and Nature
Nature so beautiful so bright
Birds fly and sing there songs
As me and myself walk along
In the mist I can see the light
I think of what is in my sight
With happiness I skip along
And I sing myself a song
As I sing with such delight
As I come to a stop
I see and waterfall
Rushing down

WISDOM AND NATURE
Today I relay a message from the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke
Which, I imagine he must have acquired from his mother….
Never…no never did nature say one thing
and wisdom say another.

A Mobius Strip

A Möbius Strip
Mind and nature of mind
So close and yet so different
Not like night and day different
But earth and sky
Not two sides of the same thing
But opposites
One an is, the other an isn’t
One an illusion, the other real
This is how truth and falsehood exist
Like an object

You and Nature
At the gesture of your eyes
The ruins come to life,
With the touch of your lips
Wind sways the flowers.
The white clouds touch
Green grasses stretch their hands
The birds fly in the sky
See you.
When it rains,
You become the queen
Of the fairies
On the branches of green trees.
Nature is swept away
By your holy calm love.
Dry yellow leaf kiss your checks,
Grasshoppers

B oldly facing challenges, leaving a lasting mark.
C reating dreams in the canvas of the sky,
D ancing with the stars, reaching new highs.
E ternal hills, majestic and grand,
F lowers blooming in the sand.
G reen meadows stretching far and wide,
H armony in

I Love Nature and Nature Loves Me
I love Nature and Nature Loves Me
I kissed the wind, and the shadows didn't see it coming
I embraced the dark as the light consumed it
I held the branch the hand of the Cotton wood tree
I'm in love with nature and nature is me
I embraced the dark as the light consumed it
I'm in love with nature

A Mix of Emotions and Nature
The emotions and nature intertwine setting our mood,
Plan each day accordingly for the changing of one's attitude.
The silence within is quiet
like the newly fallen snow,
The happy thoughts within are discovered
like the flowers that begin to grow.
The anger

Beautiful dawn a Nature walk would do one good
Across the flower filled pond, into the woods
With hearty breakfast, soul could be truly blessed
This truth, with faith love must be truly confessed
Nature has its always wonders awed this eager soul
Youth my favorite poet

Music and Nature Please
My mood is chosen daily, depending on no one else but me
If I want to feel down, I choose a dark room, heavy snacks, and a TV
If I want to feel uplifted, I bring other folks into the fray....
Get out my paints and put a friend on speaker, and happily paint away
I used to put
