One with Nature

BETTY PAUL

The rain came pouring, pouring down

The air washed clean, the leaves gleamed

The wind in joy rushed around

Ruffling the leaves playfully

Lightning lit up the scene in glee

While thunder roared its laughter.

My oppressed spirit was uplifted

Watching Nature at play. like a child,

Before the rain the day had been dark

cloudy, gloomy, oppressive and sad

with the rain pouring down the day turned magical.

Enjoying the scene I thought to myself

when I die I hope it is on such a day

Then my spirit can join the wind in its play

Laugh with the thunder, shine with the lightning

Be one with Nature!
