Love Poem: Nature's Love

Nature's Love

The brook follows the path of least resistance
It does not confront obstacles 
It embraces them
Nature knows not war

The landscape is tranquil, peaceful
Nature likes it that way
Rolling shades of green sprinkle the velvet hills with
A myriad display of colorful flowers 
Flaunting the multi-hues of the rainbow

The eye follows the brook’s unimpeded meandering path
A Monarch jig-jaggedly flies in glee
Its life will shortly come to an end but
That’s Nature’s way too

A dark brown and brittle dry leaf 
Detached by a tender wind 
Floats and softly lands on a fallen twig
It remembers where it came from

Clear water caresses the rocks underneath, 
Whispering sweet, gurgling, purling sounds
Its watery arms embraces the smooth stones 
As it fills the cracks between them

This is Nature making love with passion
Subtleties which go unnoticed to the human eye
Are nevertheless relevant in their spirit 
As life unfolds its evolution.
 
When we make love. who sees us?
Sometimes we don’t even see each other
We often forget that love is tender, giving, 
Nurturing, healing and compassionate
Nature knows this –
We should too.
