Nature Rhyme

 

Nature Rhyme

 

Listen as the firefly wings,

A story old as time.

Listen as the meadows sing,

Your heart completes the rhyme.

 

Disconnect from the urban sprawl

Do you answer Mother’s call?

Disconnect from the rat race crawl,

Nature waits in the golden hall.

 

Has the fox winked at you?

She has her lesson to tell.

The eagle’s call says what to do,

Acknowledge the forest knell.

 

Disconnect from the urban sprawl

Do you answer Mother’s call?

Disconnect from the rat race crawl,

Nature waits in the golden hall.

 

See the ripples on the pond:

Sacred geometry.

In every nodding reed’s frond,

An answer plain to see.

 

The question of our sin gone on too long,

Mankind’s quest to be too strong,

We ask at length where we went wrong,

The answer has been here all along…

 

A secret to which we turn blind,

A wildness we need not fear.

Nature may leave us far behind,

Why don’t we hold her near?

 

Disconnect from the urban sprawl

Do you answer Mother’s call?

Disconnect from the rat race crawl,

Nature waits in the golden hall.

 

Listen as the firefly wings,

A story old as time.

Listen as the meadows sing,

Your heart completes the rhyme.
