Living
and Loving Within Nature
We
could live in the woods
among
wildflowers, blue birds, and deer.
Hunting
for those rare trees bearing whorled leaves
while
still admiring the beauty of sycamores.
We
pass violets encased in purple robes.
We
munch of filberts and cashews.
We
wash those down with oat straw tea,
follow
the parade of trees clad with lichen,
love
with whole hearts,
and
not only by fractions.

mediations on nature are needed and wanted in a world where pain and suffering is not a natural result but rather human-contrived.
