Nature's sweetness


Nature's voice calls you forth to cross the threshold and into her kingdom

Where with good fortune and taste you will gain her wisdom

her leaves, her flowers, and her fruit, with care, will only bear good things

and its from these, that nature becoms more sweet. 

 

But her sweetness is endangered,

for her leaves, her flowers, and her fruit are disappearing not a trace they leave 

and we who taste her sweetness weep

for out greed has taken it away,

that sweetness that nature beholds and like with any beauty, we must decide to savor and save, or consume and walk away.
