I AM
I am a
hope,
A dream
brought to life,
I am an
adventure
Discovering
new lands.
I am
laughter
A clown
making merry.
I am a
soldier marching into battle
Defending
my country.
I can
be courage
I can
be brave
But
usually I am fearful.
I am
without risk
I am
procrastination
I am
fault
I am
worry.
I am a
tale of mystery,
A tale
of deceit and lies,
I am a
tale of love and joy
A tale
of broken hearts.
I am
But I
am not.
I am
the opposite.
I am
creation
Filled
with fault.
I am creation
I am
human.
I was a
hope
A dream
brought to life
I am an
adventure
Discovering
myself.
Lessons
of Nature
A
breath of wind,
A faint
trickle of water,
The
groaning of the trees,
The
shushing leaves,
Glinting,
slowly heating,
The
light of the sun,
Creatures
bask in the brilliance, roaming as well,
Stopping
only to greet one another.
Civility,
kindness,
Appreciation
for all creatures,
Respect,
love
Aware
of one another.
Predators
and prey,
The
endless circle of life,
Never
taking more than needed,
Keeping
balance.
The
lessons of the earth,
Are
meant to teach us,
Teach
us to listen, observe,
Care
and keep balance.
To
guide us in preserving our past,
Living
in the present,
Looking
to the future,
Keeping
the world and fixing it.
Fix it
for our children.
After
we turn to ash,
Who
will teach them,
Keep
them safe?
Fate
and life,
The
sun, stars, and moon,
The
rocks, wind, and sea,
The
lessons of nature.
