Ineffable

Nurture

There's something about nature that makes me feel so calm

So, welcomed

Being outside, laying in the grass creating the warm type of snowman

With nothing but the clothes on your body

And the tall grass surrounding you like the ground is trying to spoon you

Look at the clouds

And let Mother Nature tell you Her story

Let Her remind you that storms are beautiful

And just because you are a storm does not mean that you are doing anything wrong

Let Mother Nature nurture you with Her light breeze on a hot day

Live Her story

Plant yourself into the ground

And imagine your heart growing into a tree

A tree with no brain

Just a soul

Grow and live long enough to have two initials carved into you

And then have one pair of hands touch you with wrinkles

Feel Mother Nature as She dyes the tips of your leaves the color you were always too nervous to try yourself

And then let children play when She realizes you need a hair cut

Embrace being naked

Embrace having nothing but your bark exposed

Realize that you are still beautiful

And the snow is a gift from Mother Nature so people will paint your strong branches

With a sparkle

She will teach you that sparkles and smiles can make any day okay

When you're lying in that field, probably wanting to check your phone,

Mother Nature will put Her hand on your shoulder

And tell you to just slow down

To smell the roses because there isn't an app for that

Make friends with the bugs whose life span is only of a few days or weeks

But they still live perfect – simple – lives

They still pray to the Earth to keep their children alive

So that every piece of this planet can work together

Technology is great

But laying in the field

And stepping away from your body

And becoming a sunflower

Or a deer

Or a tree

You don't have anxiety anymore

You are free

Mother Nature allows us to pray to Gods instead of Her

Because She doesn't need anybody to create the perfectly constructed plan that makes the world work

She doesn't need to be told She's doing a good job, because She knows damn well how perfect She is

Maybe if I appreciate her enough,

And listen to Her lessons,

When I leave this body

She will turn me into the wind

To be her apprentice

So She can sit down and rest

Because She deserves so much rest

She is doing such a great job

But she can't do everything
