“Nature is a Piece of Art…There Must Be an Artist”
This 'morn I noticed the clouds were dark grey
Were they filled with water or brushed with paint?
They were a milky-greyish-colbalt-blue
They made me think of the origin of You
Some time passed by and they turned to pink
As the morning sunrise began to think
Later on, when the break of day passed by
The sky was clear...
Who decides the structure of the sky?
A simple thought, creating art? (seemingly so mere)
What about when it rains? Are those real tears?
My Dear, that is water, the cycle of the atmosphere
So, when it's time for the sentient sky to be night
And the chill of the evening descends
Look up at the majestic moon and it's light
Knowing morn’ brings sun once again
“Be One With Nature”
Is there an artist behind the light of the moon?
Or is the atmospheric cycle in control of High Noon?
I’ve researched and learned a lot over the years
About the mysteries of the universe, observed life as an existential pioneer
Is the wind a gust of force from God's might?
An Alien Spaceship? Or just air in the sky?
Let me know, I'll be awaiting reply
Patiently, cordially, I'll always be here, with a "Hi"
Since the past, that time ago, when I discovered the power word “Now”
I’ve grown, evolved; changed and transformed; and currently stand strong, wiping work off my brow
I'm now more awakened, more aware, more conscious of synchronicity
That free-flowing, infinite, interdependent energy that puts us all in sync
Like the light we live off from the sun being interconnected with our soul
Rising each ‘morn, greeting the day, no worries of the day before
Experiencing the divinity of existence, the way life comes together
Gives me hope, and I pray and pray, that life works out for everyone, for the best, in every weather
Who knows what the future holds…I know! I’ll plan it out…
May life for everyone in all of the lands be good and beautiful
And for that blessing to be without an inkling of a doubt
“Nature is Imagination, Itself”
“It’s good and beautiful up here in Heaven,” chimed the Angel, “How’s it goin’ on Earth?”
“Well, we’re building a utopic environment…are you ready for your birth?”
She replied quite quaintly, “What’s Earth like? I hear it’s green and blue.”
“Indeed, it is, that is very true.
There’s lots of various lands and seas, some cold, some hot, some both,
Some areas are developed as cities, some have sand, some have trees with an immense amount of growth.
You’ll find that ‘On Earth, as it is in Heaven’…and ‘As Above, So Below’
That is to say, ‘Peace’ and ‘Love’ are some of the most important words.
Creating existence with our minds, an environment with paths,
Creating choice with beauty in voice, that every being has.
So welcome new Sapien to Planet Earth, and the first question that we will ask
Is do you shape your future with experiences from your past?”
“Well, golly gee, from up here I can see,
That the decisions you make now matter later.
But they could differ in type like the sea or a tree,
Malleably flowing or stamped on paper.”
“That’s inter-esting to hear, how very awe-inspiring
We shall be super exel-lent in our speaking, actions, and writing.”
“How splendid, indeed, conscientiousness is what you need,
To continue the flow of peace."
"Colors are the Smiles of Nature"
Never judge, never get stuck in elitism, never fall for the trap of negative thought
Dream big, with a mind embodying prosperity and optimism
Lead and fly with your fellow brothers and sisters, guardian angels at heart
We are evolved to bring each other up, to get to that next thought, creation, dimension
Our duty to seek, welcome, practice, and promote peace and positivity
Stand tall at the podium, with your declaration, with your vision
Praise the righteous, conscientiousness, and benevolent
And be the change you wish to see in situations that aren’t
As we glide higher on wings and ships of love
We experience enlightenment like fast and awesome
Like first sight, like first flight, like first light
This is our life, our existence, our reality
We get to define it, create it, explore it
We fall when there’s someone to catch us and write when there’s someone to listen
But we can drive when there’s nowhere to go and dance in celebration
You can sing forever
You can change the world
You can drum-beat in time and along an off-beat too
So, what are you waiting for?
"Never Did Nature Say One Thing and Wisdom Another"
Everyone is intrinsically connected, we're all one, one love, one mind
The universe is here for you, it's a celebration, seek and you shall find
Forge forward without fear or hate, and use your wise and true brain
To explore and continue your expedition of life, examining in order to explain
Cause if life's a gift, a ride, and a party, to cherish, enjoy, and have fun in
Maybe it's also a challenge, an experiment, and a simulation
Waiting for an explanation or a poem as a statement
Or, it could always be a movie, or real live action video game
But I like romantic novel, waiting for the Knight of Honor's name
Anyways, words to you, to humanity,
Be you an angel, a genius, a warrior, or all three
Here’s some colloquial positivity:
Draw inspiration from all sections of existentialism, and hop on a greyhound or a bike
And, as you ride smooth to the your next destination and hang up your coat
Meditate in place for deliverance of the next post
It might be card or a star, a book or the moon, don’t worry, it’ll be there soon
Bringing with it an idea or a quote, inspiring the next big thing, put it in a song!
Because expressing yourself and sharing your vision
Makes you the source of inspiration
"By Discovering Nature, You Discover Yourself"
We are all a part of Mother Nature
Us friends, sisters, and mothers
The Beatles sing how Lady Madonna
Essentially Mary, has moral ideals
Like Tracy Chapman singing to heal
The music that inspires us
Can inspire a whole bus
Like Rosa Parks standing up to what's unjust
Like Dr. King standing up for equality
Like Moses leading the Israelites out from disparity
Phil Collins, Celine Dion, and Bob Marley
They sing of love and community
How together and hope is beauty
They say "Oh, Think Twice...of how One Love
Transforms us to what we need to become."
A strong mother plays strong rhythms
For their daughter, so they make strong decisions
And so they are strong leaders
To lead others to achieve more
This music, those teachers, these lessons
Create people who can answer questions
What do you ask the world?
"Nature is Complex System of Water"
"Where are you from?" asked the ocean to the river
"A meandering long away from here" it said, as the water it did give her
"There's a fish in the river that came with a message,
It said 'Be Mindful of Cleanliness'"
We must respect our bodies of water
The lakes and rivers and ponds
We can't pollute or be a bother
To the sacred water that we are fond of
Water makes up everything, all the plants, the animals, us
It's what creates life on Planet Earth
It's actually a very interesting process
Oceans, ponds, lakes, and rivers evaporate into clouds
And what I find totally profound, then the water rains onto the ground
It may seem like simple science to some
But to me it's a magical cycle
Because the water doesn't disappear when it evaporates
It is completely recycled
I view Planet Earth as a special place, if you couldn't notice
(So we must practice respect and kindness between all, this is of utmost importance)
So what is exciting is when I hear about terraforming Mars
Making that planet as habitable as Earth
Next thing you know we'll be driving fast cars
On the next planet in the Milky Way to have rivers and ponds
"Be the Change in Human Nature"
When you are low on energy, and feel the pain for the world*
When it's stormy, and the whole sky is falling down**
When you are feeling lost, and are far from home***
...Change the World...
You think you are ordinary?
You think power is finite?
You believe in time?
...Be Willing to Learn...
Something makes you think people are different?
Something jeopardizes equality?
Something isn't moral?
...Stand Up For What You Believe In...
If someone needs help
If you have a dream
If you care
...Work Hard...

"Nature is a Journey"
How do we reach the best story?
How do we reach the summit?
It's by focusing on what we make
It's by turning love into an instrument
Some go around in circles
With disagreements
While others are making hurdles
With technological advancements
What really keeps the gears going?...
...of machines, and also of life?
It is everything all working
Together, with harmonious design
