Poem: Nature Differs

Behold ye people to the woods once green

And stare at its bare and lifeless form

Peep out to the valleys where the Brook was seen

But now there stand leafless trees with rootless bottom

 

Behold ye people to the deserts dark and cold

And glance at the Saguaro’s rustling their insane cries

It’s where the beasts howl and the serpents hide

But never realizes the vacuum under the endless skies

 

Behold ye people to the pastures ye haven’t seen

And gape at the boundless scenarios filled with charm

There’s flourishing peace giving no place for thoughts that mean

And in its heart lies active roses still sweet and warm

 

But besides the endless streams of unconscious deeds lies

Dormant seeds with undying thirst for drops never found
