Best Inspirationalnature Poems
Along the eroding banks of the Minnesota River
Lies a tranquil scene that will make you shiver
Where nature and man join together as one
Entwined around debris that time has spun.
Acre upon acre farther than the eye can see
Hidden underground rusted metals flee
Bogged down by mud time stands still
Where trees and brush continue to spill.
A historical town with stories to tell
Of steamboats landing under yesterday’s spell
Where mills and founderies drowned in the past
Mastered by floods the river cast.
In the quiet river valley where eagles soar
The support of volunteers continue to pour
With trucks and skid loaders they renovate the land
Removing the debris once left by man.
The hum of equipment echoes throughout
Giving nature a chance to sprout
Where metal and tires layer each other
Showcasing debris nature and time will smother.
Piece by piece the past is removed
But the power of the river still carves its groove
Where the trains lone whistle echoes each day
And natures growth still guides the way.
Today the river continues to fight back
Claiming its territory with a sedimentary attack
Wave after wave it buries the past
Leaving behind a mark that will last.
Along the eroding banks of the Minnesota River
Lie remnants of the past that will make you shiver
Where nature and man grow together as one
And tales of progress are diligently spun.
Where is the river that follows the breeze.
The one that goes and flows along with ease.
No cares or worries about life trials.
Just free to bask along in the new miles.
For sure this journey will someday find an end.
Out to the vast ocean by canyons and bends.
Carried along in the path of the wind.
Life held by nature and the love that she sends.
No raging waters to find natures voice.
Just amazement and beauty in Gods choice.
In a mind exist the place to be free.
Where the wind blows the river to the sea.
To nature man has nothing over thee.
You hold our soul and the want to be free.
Seeing this now, I still, being blinded by them I find I am still frightfully often fighting Him and
this, and these facts.
And knowing myself and knowing no other viable future, without Him.
His love, exults for me, all of us I believe, a true, permanent and abundant freedom and
universal peace, and liberty.
And remaining honorable, adhering to this principal, I believe it awaits openly, rising up each
moment to greet Him ... .
Is always hopeful and willingly revels in His patient coaxing of all of us to try and be as open
in all we do as well individually.
Wanting ... just like Him, in all honesty ... only the best for another and ourselves.
Believing, along with me as I am realizing now myself,
that His grace, always provides for everyone the same opportunity.
And as it moves freely, it sets aside the veritable ... and inevitable, and so I feel grace abides
in the overt nature of love.
Finding its refuge in the eminent fortune, of even more beautiful things to come.
Because I am finding that to love, is to be free.
Yes to love completely is to cherish the innocence within ... and abounding, through
embracing God, myself, another,
the veritable nature of this His world fully, at its and-mine all of ours our most vulnerable.
And so I know that through my schooling, and Him.
Like me ... now, I believe having no other choice tides are surrendered themselves, to the
greater gravity of the Sun.
And so still I know as well rising up honoring him us all of this world, to them scrubbing the
shorelines, blessing the life therein, through this process they are graciously cleans
themselves.
As in turn they are washed out to Sea, again blessing all the life within as they again are
brought to rise back up through Him to greet them behind the combined pull and timely
rotation of it and the Earth on the enchanting nature of the Moon.
All for perfect reason.
So knowing true love I feel is to accept its hand, and dance felicitously mid the tenderness of
its reflection.
Because what is more important to have?
"Feeling-safe" ... knowing a "Perfect" conditional faith and love, mercy ... ?

I venture into the woods at night,
Without a doubt in my mind and having no sight.
The thick green woods over take me
And I jump into them and shake silently.
The feeling of nature all around,
Is a feeling of love all the way to the ground.
I would never trade nature for anything,
Not even all the answers to infinity.
So take it as you may this little ditty,
Is all about my love of the mother nautre's beauty.

~ ((~ As I Ponder ~)) ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ When before I was brought to know such
a day as this ... yes-once it weighed heavily
on me the thought; will it ever-come ...
yes and my pain, will it never-end? ~
~ While in the instance of my depression
I was unable to see the love of God well
within the waters, kind reflection; but
now; now through Him I have come to
behold and live to tell of the treasure
therein contained and abounding. Within
this joyous and ever humbling-divine day
for me of revelation, and so now; now-my-
joy-has-been-sustained. For when I am to
ponder the simple nature of His love in all
of its purity, and patient delights; visions
of these they skip across my mind from
time to time. As my eager-hand ... the
open-gesture, it moves to lay ahold
of the promise of another. ~
~ As this intention that I've picked up I carry
now and cast-briskly ... into the darkness of
the moist liquids, to land. As the-ripples gentle
gliding they come to move in freedom across
the vivid reflection, of this glassy-sheen, while
slowly they are brought to roll along evenly
with me-and-onward to-lay in peace-beside
the stillness; of the open-shores. As-swiftly my-
thoughts of God-and-life they move and-dance,
upon the-humble shallows deeper and-ever deeper
into the heart, of the waters ... and so my heart
here stands-in view of-this-and feeling fonder. ~
~ For-the tender ... thoughtful-kisses I give each
place here in my heart that abide-amid the presence
of Gods' perfect love, and-supreme-goodness; given-now-
for the many blessings that I see. Amid the glory of-His
many-other-wonders; I give my-heart again this-day; more-
time ... for the nature of their-open-beauty;
to-ponder. ~
