 Confessions by Joeseph Andrew Miller Nature, to me, is beauty incarnate Beaming with pride as the sun shines on the valleys And oceans below It nurtures all life, breathing its will onto the masses within it A common bond follows this, which all the animals know The rolling stream, clashing against the rocks so hard The bristling of the trees, magic wind purifying the ear The silent valleys surveying with its own wild card Bowing to no one, and yet full of great cheer But beauty is not just in the picturesque valleys and unreachable peaks It is also in the rhythm of life created by each separate creature under the sun With every sound and movement nature speaks As if all is joined together as one Humanity needs to take heed of this fact For we neglect to unify under a common good We become selfish at times, quick to act On our own impulses, as if we think we should God wanted us to become brothers and sisters Planting the seeds of goodness within us all But the evil within us is something that deters Our search for a common good a common call We look at nature as something that is beastly, something savage Yet each animal is simply surviving, meeting its needs We have become too passive, and the gifts of materialism have ravaged Our ability to love one another, to help each other to breathe So I confess that this is a problem that is difficult to remedy That has been prevalent throughout the sands of time But there is hope for all mankind by simply looking at a tree Seeing it grow and nurture many others in kind.
