It is a reminder
we know little
about nature
whenever we visit
the great outdoors
that it is something
which is independent
of us
in which we had no part
in the making
but, we take it in
we breath it
we feel the warmth and the cold
of it
a reminder…
we can’t take it
with us to where we have
to return
we can only experience it
when we are there
for mere moments in time
and that the memory
of that experience leaves
us yearning
for there is
some great
power beyond
our capabilities
who
made all this
who keeps it
available
who keeps it
alive
as it
likewise
gives us
our own
sense
of
self.
