Member Poem

Crystal clear and dazzling to the eyes

far away, yet enchanting to man

with charming mixtures of blue, white and silver

an untouchable protective blanket to mankind

at night, shining with glowing diamond stars

and adorned with a crown called the moon

nature, with the grace and poise of a virgin

watches over man as he slumbers

as man goes about his daily motions

like a golden torch, she lights his path

the sun held firm like a maiden's water pot

with occasional sprinkles of light unto man

my love for nature has led me thus far

as I strive to decipher the mystery she holds

nothing holds more value to me than my mother

for in her I found pure, true, unconstitutional love

I have been deceived to the point of giving up

but she consoles and holds me dearly to her bosom

life is worth living when you are one with nature

for with her, the riches of the earth are yours to command

she is generous and loving to a fault

yet men seek to exploit her weaknesses

a rare gem of inestimable value

Mother nature, my one true love
