I Brought Nature Home

 I Brought Nature Home

I'm with Nature, from sunrise to evening,

     writing my life in a poem.

I'm with Nature reading the morning paper,

     whatever news it brings for the day;

I'm with Nature with brewed coffee piping hot,

     rising in mist, whiling time away.

I'm with Nature, with a bit of the mountain, sea,

     of rivulets, streams and lake;

I'm with Nature, clouds rising on the horizon,

     white and dark, into rain they make.

I'm with Nature, the ocean spreading out

     in a grasp from shore to its end;

I'm with Nature, in the sky of deep azure

     birds fly free to heaven.

I'm with Nature, confined yet boundless,

     by lianas, the lowly bryophyte;

Dissolving the old prison walls and bars,

     that for years barred my sight.

I'm with Nature, from sunrise to evening,

     writing my life in a poem,

while Midas touches everything to gold,

     save where I brought Nature home. ~
