We are all dancers entangled on a quantum level with our beloved,
Although they may be unknown to you, yet to be discovered,
I've hovered over heartache for so long I can't envision a new love,
But to the best of my knowledge it's destined by universe above,
How best to find comfort in these days of stress and worry,
When every single person is racing without need to hurry,
Surely my instinct will find an answer to my troubled mind,
Sending me on sojourn where relief I'm sure my soul will find,
I hear nature calling me forth to absorb her ancient secrets,
I plan on making it a daily part of my activity sequence,
The aura of many trees travels on the breeze that surrounds me,
I feel spiritually infused with their higher vibrational plea,
Woodland creatures make their presence known as well,
They too have much wisdom they feel compelled to tell,
Gist of story being humans have gotten too big for our britches,
So many creatures and plants need permanent stitches,
They give and give until they burst at the seams,
We've overstepped our bounds harvesting exorbitant reams,
Of oil, paper, lumber, medicine, foodstuffs and fur,
Our culling instincts hollowed them of what they once were,
Many many moons ago we missed out on our best chance,
To follow lead of native Americans and reason they dance,
Tribes made love to planet earth like hopeless romantics,
While today we reap and pillage like misanthropic fanatics,
As I was about to leave I heard a voice on the wind,
Visit here more often to recalibrate your soul that sinned.
So from their mouth to my ears to this pen I gift to all that read these words,
Think about my writing when girding your rights against political herds.
