When Nature Nurtures

When you witness nature withholding her fury,

and acknowledge the power she wields.

It’s both a beautiful and wicked sight,

when you experience firsthand what she feels.

*

Electricity vibrates your senses,

the heat from the surge in the air.

She controls every move with precision,

with so much more power to spare.

*

We long to obtain the force of her nature,

contain her power to use as our own.

So, we harness and reign just a portion,

for our tv's, appliances, and phones.

*

We struggle to become one with nature,

on our terms, controlling just how.

Forgetting that she can take what she wants,

she doesn't need us at all, anyhow.

I need to be completely expunged of emotion -

absorb the full beauty of stars.

Exposing the hurt -that my heart holds,

cleansing and healing each scar.

*

To talk freely with the constellations,

learn the secrets of the universe - firsthand.

Lay silently still, beside the ocean,

enveloped completely in sand.

For I too am a force made of nature,

made with a clear purpose in mind.

I may not yet - have all the answers,

but she and I, are completely aligned.
