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.

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

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
