Learn to dance in a field of lilies. Learn to lift your voice and sing to a waterfall. Learn to breathe the air of the forest. Learn to dream by the ocean. Learn to spill your heart to a stream. Learn to cry in the rain. Learn to smile at the sun. Learn to have faith on a mountain. Learn to soar in the sky. Learn to lift your wings and fly. Don't hold back the words you really mean. |

Very poetic advice to maintain a healthy balance between sane and insane. I like that. A little cliché here and there, but not stifling. I really like the second, fourth and fifth lines. |

Melissa, I read your poem, "Learning Nature" and sort of copied your words. I didn't mean for it to be plagiarized. I loved your words and was moved to change 'learn' to 'remember.' I think I should have asked you first. Please forgive me! Marti |
