The Seed Pressed Between My Rib Cage Will Bloom, With Or Without You

I will trust in Mother Nature every time

I’m a lover of nature, of gardens

Plants, animals and our Earth,

Nature’s beauty is unparalleled

An ecosystem that knows it’s worth.

***

Human Beings on the other hand

Are difficult to believe and trust,

Here today, then gone tomorrow

Your relationship turning to dust,

***

Nature is what you see, you get

But people are prone to shock,

Love you one minute, hate the next

Where in nature a rock is a rock.

***

Happiness together is subjective

Unable to be trusted day by day,

One unintentional error, a slip up

And they will leave straight away.

***

I’ll put my faith in Mother Nature

I’ve learnt time and time again,

Not to believe in relationships

All they cause is incredible pain.

***

Great today, finished tomorrow

Walking on egg shells, insecure,

Hypocritical love, often withheld

Your walking away is premature.

***

But Mother Nature has my back

For example, I will get my due,

The seed you pressed with love,

In that space between my rib cage

Will bloom with or without you.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
