Analysis of Nature



leaves
gently sway with the morning’s
stir
like the gentle rustle
of my sheets

awakening as I do
they catch
—and catch me

rest, rise
rise, rest

Nature
is a bed called home

About this poem

Written by Lucas in 2023, “Nature” is a poem inspired by the curious, and sometimes peaceful recursive relationship between ‘home’ and ‘nature,’ —home cannot exist without nature to breadth its very need to be. And yet, the two are never wholly separate.
