All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What sweet song bird beckons his love What silvery fish leaps to waters above What tear shaped dew befalls the grass What sustained wood of golden brass What insect call of buzz and hum What water beating a rock like a drum All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What cold breeze sweeps the land What shaped the stone with windy hand The reds and whites of mountains rise What raptors soaring hunt with cries What arid wind provide the breeze What sweet fruit fall from mesquite trees All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What emerald fur coats the ground What colourful buds blossom to be found What grazing goat or elk does call What primordial leviathan does the lake trawl What chittering tree folk bound and play What beautiful land inspires dreams of fae All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What black scars paint across the land What dark smog clouds the sky What metallic beasts speed across the ground What obelisks of the new age rise and fall What plastics change tides of the sea Why Why do we take this gift and burn it Why do we scrape holes in her skin We grow and expand and grow and expand Why are we deaf to the symphony When the beasts leave the land it will be by our hand When the birds leave the sky it will be by our ambition When the fish leave the sea it will be by our greed

Of Nature’s Magic
All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What sweet song bird beckons his love What silvery fish leaps to waters above What tear shaped dew befalls the grass What sustained wood of golden brass What insect call of buzz and hum What water beating a rock like a drum All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What cold breeze sweeps the land What shaped the stone with windy hand The reds and whites of mountains rise What raptors soaring hunt with cries What arid wind provide the breeze What sweet fruit fall from mesquite trees All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What emerald fur coats the ground What colourful buds blossom to be found What grazing goat or elk does call What primordial leviathan does the lake trawl What chittering tree folk bound and play What beautiful land inspires dreams of fae All around is the symphony of nature, we all need but to listen What black scars paint across the land What dark smog clouds the sky What metallic beasts speed across the ground What obelisks of the new age rise and fall What plastics change tides of the sea Why Why do we take this gift and burn it Why do we scrape holes in her skin We grow and expand and grow and expand Why are we deaf to the symphony When the beasts leave the land it will be by our hand When the birds leave the sky it will be by our ambition When the fish leave the sea it will be by our greed
I have travelled around the globe and have seen so many natural wonders, but no matter how far out I venture, I can still find detritus, trash and litter.
