Spirit in Nature*
A collaboration with Carol from WritersDream9.Wordpress.com

Spirit in Nature
Trees whisper wisdom
Earth’s spirit raises its voice
Speaks of natural ways
I reach for a branch
Longing fills my heart and soul
To be in oneness
Parched earth waits for rain
Heaven’s secrets that release pain
It makes guidance plain
Opening my soul
To receive His bounties
A fullness of faith
Ocean tides that toss
Turn over ideas like shells
Deposit them on shore
The sea glass glistens
Makes me shine like a rainbow
Dancing in the sand
Breezes blow wishes
Cast them to the infinite
He who makes all true.
The soft breeze moves me
Makes me want to splash and play
Feel a salty hug
Volcanoes issue
Environmental warnings
Sent down from on high
I am a steward
A champion for the Earth
So children can dance
In cities’ canyons
Hope glints in office windows
Goodwill flows through streets
Our air is cleaner
Our rivers flow freely now
Our true hearts are free

Beautiful thoughts for May 1st 🙂 I have a few ‘favorites’ but the most special one for me is the second haiku or stanza: ‘I reach for a branch …’

Gorgeous, Ladies. Thank you for reminding us that there’s no beauty, no greater power, nothing more delicate than Nature herself.
