When we spend time in nature certain aspects of the natural environment affect us in positive ways so here is a poem I wrote about that
Deep Listening
In the gentle wind and movement of leaves
The black walnut trees talk,
with lilac bushes all covered in lavender colored blossoms
I can hear their sweet conversations
They love each other
Under the rich ground,
their roots touch and tangle
Baby rabbits laugh at them for gushing so much
They turn all the violence of men into nourishment
They are more mature brothers and sisters to us all
Growing in such grace and patience
Never hating our ignorance
I listen to them, and the bird songs,
for a long while
and I feel the heaviness inside
ease slowly away
