Even When Nature’s Not So Bright


Heavily laden skies
chalky gray in disguise
tepid breeze blows
across this land I know

Nature still thrives
as the fowl tries
to find special treats
before the skies begin to leak

A day to walk alone
enjoying the calming tone
of natures beauty deep
collecting memories to keep

Search for blessings in disguise
knowing each a valuable prize
ponder on my wants and needs
asking God with gentle plead

Thanking those in my life
even when with heavy strife
hoping in the very best
please grant me loving rest

This walk through natures prime
has given my soul needed time
to heal lowly thoughts
and answers truly sought

Even when it seems
nature weeps at her seams
you can make the very best
giving heart and soul due rest


By, Cerenity

Cerenity,
I agree with all of the above. You are a butterfly.

So soothingly wonderful, Cerenity!  I truly enjoyed reading this, and I intend to a few more times!  Great poem!

Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

IT is true that nature is not always kind, it just is. We can not control it therefore we must bend with it. Beautiful poem.
