Lesson From the Badlands

A hilltop covered in yellow and green 
Reveals secrets long unseen 
A quiet stillness pierces the air 
As nature makes clear that she is still there

A barren landscape, or so it seems 
Void of grass or lakes or streams
Yet if you listen carefully for the sounds
Soon you'll find that life abounds

Upon us did nature this treasure bequeath
A constant reminder to look just beneath
And that if we don't train our eyes
The world's splendors will be hidden in plain disguise

Anxiety, Gone

As the fireplace crackles a familiar song
I begin to realize what has been wrong
This gripping fear that has been limiting me
Fades as I overcome my anxiety

Slowly, as the falling snow outside
I no longer feel the need to hide
My pain turns to strength - with depression I am done
Illumimated by a bright sky with no sun

My world perfumed by fragrant pine
Understanding that I'll be fine
Finally, I have found my soul
Healed, once again I feel whole

Nature's Lesson

Upon a landscape snowy and bright 
Sun glistens in flakes along their flight
Down into a home they've never known
Guided by a resilience they've always shown

A deer bounds close and seems to hear
As my footsteps near
Briefly, it turns to look
Majestic as though from a book

All around, life sings its familiar song
Suddenly, I realizs what's been wrong
In the quest for our money
We have disrupted nature's harmony
