True Nature

This is it
hours before I go once again
A place I fell in love with at first stepping in
waters so pure
and trees of grace and history
ancient in their benevolence
holding true to all that we were
in nature with nurture
a love for whats real
how we have changed
sitting typing I barely fell
so many differences from us to them
masking evolution
an erosion of life
slowly removing all that exists
but this
and what is it
so I must continue down this path I have chosen
learn more , forget less
change can be made through voices oft heard
speak freely of feelings for what nature is
keep pages turning, one place to the next
the world your book is only asking your time
no more than that
its loose leaf and bound
in bindings and covers
pages blank awaiting stories and images for lore
so take to more reading, write what is true
our world is the one thing we cannot ignore
I offer this a phrase I once heard

We are often saying, as human beings,
how we have lost touch with nature.
Yet, in truth we are nature.
So, it is misconstrued what we are trying to say.
Nature is not what we have lost touch with.
We have lost touch with ourselves.
Our true nature.

Travel More, Sit Less
Read More, Watch Less
Explore Everything, Forget Nothing
