You and I
Nature’s bright in all its beauty,
With its feathers and its gills,
From a cricket’s happy chirping,
To a pork’s rough quills.
From a neatly woven nest,
To the blinking of an eye,
Without nature we wouldn’t be here, You and I.
Nature’s bright in all its beauty,
With its paws and all its skills,
From the gentle stream’s lip-lapping duty,
To the slow blink-blinking of stars on distant hills.
From a fish’s glitter gills,
To the slowly darkening sky,
Without nature we wouldn’t be here sleeping, You and I.
About this poem
In this poem, I tried to capture both the beauty of nature, and the fact that we wouldn’t be here without it. We should all be trying to protect and preserve nature, wherever we are in the world, however we can.
