Water Scene #1

I cannot cry much
So I do cherish the chance
To baptize myself

Earth Scene #3

Nicholas Burge May 2018

Why ain't we spreading
Us species of a wild breed
Our roots are planted

Water Scene #2

Nicholas Burge Apr 2018

Rain falls good evil
They all get wet and I know
The rain picks no side

Nature Scene #1

Nicholas Burge May 2018

With tunnel vision
I look forward on my walk
To the trees growing

Fire Scene #3

Nicholas Burge May 2018

Sequoias in flames
Sow their best and likewise you
Reap in height and weight

Earth Scene #1

Nicholas Burge Apr 2018

I own this Planet
With trust, He gave it to me
To destroy myself

First poem of a Plotinus inspired 17 haiku series for an Ancient Philosophy final :)
