Mother Nature’s Indoctrination
Why can’t I sit
in the solitude of life…
Let me sit with myself for a moment
think and do nothing
just watch the trees sway gently in the breeze
of an early summer’s morning
Let me breathe here-quietly
looking outside of my windows
gleaning joy from Mother Nature
whose offers of solitude
fills me
Let me bask in the envy that birds fly free
hither and yonder
every day in the wander
of their feathered lives.
I was a country girl flying free
Enjoying the simplicity of my living,
Until love came along,
Dared to upset the balance to my nature…
