Close your eyes and
give ear to nature
Listen for the
gentle-hearted
mother's plea
Heed the call of the
whimpering winds
As they drift in
upon the waves of
the sea.
Silence the drums to
which you now dance
Bask in the warmth
of the rays from on
high
Feel the poundings
of the heart of the
earth
Galloping in upon
the shadows of the
sky.
Still the appetites
of greedy humankind
Consider the loss of
the flora and the
fauna
Hearken to the cry
of the wilderness
afire
Spilling the guts of
life into a shameful
sauna.
Open your eyes and
lend nature an ear
Embrace the flame of
mother earth's
desire
Dwell in peace and
take joy in all of
her creation
Swim along to the
kingdom in a state
of natural retire.
