let me never forget

 when in the distance, the call

to walk.

to stand beneath the breathtaking bloom.

a desire to capture

that which the Universe has claim to.

Claim to creation beyond

the grasp of me...a mere mortal.

for, i too am a creation

of a universal beauty...

 that hunger to absorb...with...

no wish to exit this deep lust for life.

to call upon all my senses

and dive

...my lungs to fill...

...plunge...

...certain...

that,

all beauty created 

be there for me and u

to absorb.

 no forgiveness to be offered

should i walk around blind

deep within the smallness of my 

'iotic' existence.

...why should there be forgiveness 

when vast and free and 

ever present

be life?

when nature soothes my weary thoughts

feeding my tired eyes 

in her display

season after season.

for she knows to console me.

"...breath..." She says

"...see me...

take me within your soul

and rest ...let your burdens down,

just for a while,

...at least.

let me fill your spirit with

what i am.

i am Mother Nature and yours 

to enjoy.

In return all i ask

is your

recognition and respect.

cherish that which i have to offer

so that your children's children

and their children onwards

will know me.

look upon my beauty and know the value of me

protect me against those that choose to walk blind

giving rise to concrete skyscrapers...

those high rise structures... breeding contempt.

the rise

of

coveting fellow humans

who see no further than the length of their noses

and selfishly hoard materialism

until that day

when enough will never be enough...

then, i shall no longer be around 

worn down...

burnt

ignored

sacrificed.

don't walk blind.

go to bed with me

and

wake with me...

for i ask nothing more

than your acknowledgement and enjoyment of me."

and thus i say

 make my eyes ever seeing

my senses ever aware

my senses bursting to know what be mine to enjoy

for

free.

and

all it costs me

is to ensure

i am the best keeper and protector of 

Mother Nature.
