Appreciating nature

 
I find nature enduring and opulent
with amazing colours that hold me in suspense,
I find that being in the heart of it
takes away my stress
and seems to heal the scars I’ve gained
through the harsh rigors of life,
I find the saying is true
that variety is the spice of life
and as I accept that truth
then I really have to say
nature is wonderfully spicy
in a state of bliss and grace
and this world would so drab
and there would be no human race
if you simply decided nature
is something you can eradicate
I am not sure anyone can understand
the importance of nature
if they cannot appreciate
all it offers and gives us
in each moment of each day
you do not need to live in the country
for it to infiltrate
you every aspect of life
for it is alive in towns and cities as well
respect and pay homage to it
then succumb under it’s magical spell.
