Mother Nature's Blessing
As I observe the clear, sapphire skies
The curtains of magnolia brush my weary eyes
The mirthful twitters of the nearby bluebird
They heed my worries, they allow me to be heard
The monarchs and ladybugs kiss my button-nose
They are the sweetest companions, I suppose
Leaves of stevia and butterfly peas adorn my warm tea
These alleviating herbs always set my ill soul free
The nimble wind dances with its beloved, colorful leaves
Everyone may find love if only they propel their beliefs
The serene song of the fish by the dazzling river
So calm, so mellow, it never makes one quiver
The nearby amphibians dine with insect cake
Ha! How that makes my very stomach quake!
Pinecones and petunias adorn my tender head
For the bees and the rabbits declare their queen and cherished friend.
The salty waves and sea foam kiss my brown feet
As the treasures of pearls and shells diminish fear of the blazing heat
The fawn, the fox, the owl, the badger, the bear
All different species, yet it is the endearing survival they share
Mountains, rivers, forests, oceans, blimey— the very sky itself!
The very depth and character they hold are more precious than the same thing we call wealth!
Take a seat and ponder…
If so many adore Mother Earth with such admiration and yearn to wander…
Why do we make our planet suffer and squander?
The kaleidoscope of our rich forests is becoming bleakly cruel
Prismatic reefs, once regal ridges, wither in the hands of our wicked fuel
Our waters, fresh and salty, scattered with plastic and rubbish
Our beloved creatures, born to be free, yet abused and wrongfully punished
Our air, once clear and free, is now polluted with hate and contamination
Our nourishing foods, wasted day by day, we now search in desperation
Our Mother Earth, she is scorched with anger, and wrongfully warmed!
Beloved animals, once thriving, we now mourn!
Mama Earth, Gaia, Great Mother— however, you must name her
She is greatly suffering because we fail to see our intentions blur!
Heed my warning, my precious friends!
We must take action,
prevent the world’s untimely ends!

Hello, beautiful people! My name is Sarah, and I am an environmental advocate. Ever since I was a child, I have always been drawn to nature. From embarking to the Everglades to dancing in my backyard, nature has always been a comforting factor. I feel like we tend to take nature’s gifts for granted, and we must appreciate what nature has to offer. Therefore, this poem is a reflection of what can become of our world if we do not save it.
