birds and bees

wonderful trees

the world is diverse

just like the universe

​

flowers' at play

bloom rounds today

in multiple colors

like sisters' and brothers'

​

Fuchsia or yellow

or purple so mellow

from deep reds to pastels

springs fruit to nourish 

 ladies' and fellows'

​

vegetables' thrive

in dark soil with sunshine

with proper bacteria and insects

aeration and rains' process

​

water tables, some buried deep

provide fresh flow for all to drink

small farming families

local and caring 'green thumbs'

aren't notions, but truths

we can't spare

​

nature's cornucopia

keeps cells in good stead

so new seeds' when planted

germinate in proper climates

temperatures 'mead'

​

we must take care of the planet

with proper sunshine and rains

to nourish plants, trees, and our dreams

spirits must be respected, lifted, protected

​

Old one's dwell beyond imagination

previous civilizations have much to teach

innocence and wonder make up

that which is seen and not seen

​

Interactions with nature, include local

neighbor's and stranger's

to uplift with a kind word or gesture

trumps selfish measures

​

take a moment through the day

to appreciate the beauty around you

the breeze waving trees' leaves

or when a Meadowlark sings

or a Child's innocent laughter

or a stranger's genuine kindness

for these actions have no monetary measure

they're priceless treasures
