Nature and Me
As I look up at the sky
I see that it is much like me
The clouds are ever changing
Ideas flowing through my head
This likeness is a comfort
As well as the soothing light
When the sun comes out to say hello
My attention's drawn to the tall, tall trees
These trees that make me feel so small
Make my problems miniscule
Life is beautiful on these branches
Like the birds singing their sweet songs
Singing songs for the squirrels to dance to
As they jump from branch to branch
Until one sees me and they stop
Staring at me, seeing the true me
Making me feel clear and lucid
Like the water in the pond
Then I look and see the fountain
Bringing energy to the moment
And that's what water does, I guess
Brings life to everything around it
Like the grass I see that's home to many
And to me as I observe
Observing nature and in a way
Observing myself as well
